encrypted-keys: fix rcu and sparse messages
Enabling CONFIG_PROVE_RCU and CONFIG_SPARSE_RCU_POINTER resulted in "suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!" and "incompatible types in comparison expression (different address spaces)" messages. Access the masterkey directly when holding the rwsem. Changelog v1: - Use either rcu_read_lock()/rcu_derefence_key()/rcu_read_unlock() or remove the unnecessary rcu_derefence() - David Howells Reported-by: Dmitry Kasatkin <dmitry.kasatkin@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Mimi Zohar <zohar@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>
