Fix the following RCU warning:

===================================================
[ INFO: suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage. ]
---------------------------------------------------
security/keys/request_key.c:116 invoked rcu_dereference_check() without protection!

other info that might help us debug this:


rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 0
1 lock held by keyctl/5372:
#0: (key_types_sem){.+.+.+}, at: [<ffffffff811a4e3d>] key_type_lookup+0x1c/0x70

stack backtrace:
Pid: 5372, comm: keyctl Not tainted 2.6.34-rc3-cachefs #150

This was caused by doing:

[root(a)andromeda ~]# keyctl newring fred @s
539196288
[root(a)andromeda ~]# keyctl request2 user a a 539196288
request_key: Required key not available
