[PATCH] Keys: Split key permissions checking into a .c file

The attached patch splits key permissions checking out of key-ui.h and
moves it into a .c file.  It's quite large and called quite a lot, and
it's about to get bigger with the addition of LSM support for keys...

key_any_permission() is also discarded as it's no longer used.
