8e323a02e8 KEYS: Keyring asymmetric key restrict method with chaining
Add a restrict_link_by_key_or_keyring_chain link restriction that
searches for signing keys in the destination keyring in addition to the
signing key or keyring designated when the destination keyring was
created. Userspace enables this behavior by including the "chain" option
in the keyring restriction:

  keyctl(KEYCTL_RESTRICT_KEYRING, keyring, "asymmetric",
         "key_or_keyring:<signing key>:chain");

7e3c4d2208 KEYS: Restrict asymmetric key linkage using a specific keychain
Adds restrict_link_by_signature_keyring(), which uses the restrict_key
member of the provided destination_keyring data structure as the
key or keyring to search for signing keys.

146aa8b145 KEYS: Merge the type-specific data with the payload data
Merge the type-specific data with the payload data into one four-word chunk
as it seems pointless to keep them separate.

Use user_key_payload() for accessing the payloads of overloaded
user-defined keys.
