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

This was caused by doing:

[root@andromeda ~]# keyctl request2 user a a 539196288
