KEYS: Add missing smp_rmb() primitives to the keyring search code
Add missing smp_rmb() primitives to the keyring search code.
When keyring payloads are appended to without replacement (thus using up spare
slots in the key pointer array), an smp_wmb() is issued between the pointer
assignment and the increment of the key count (nkeys).
There should be corresponding read barriers between the read of nkeys and
dereferences of keys[n] when n is dependent on the value of nkeys.
