KEYS: Add KEYCTL_RESTRICT_KEYRING

Keyrings recently gained restrict_link capabilities that allow
individual keys to be validated prior to linking.  This functionality
was only available using internal kernel APIs.

With the KEYCTL_RESTRICT_KEYRING command existing keyrings can be
configured to check the content of keys before they are linked, and
then allow or disallow linkage of that key to the keyring.

To restrict a keyring, call:

  keyctl(KEYCTL_RESTRICT_KEYRING, key_serial_t keyring, const char *type,
         const char *restriction)

where 'type' is the name of a registered key type and 'restriction' is a
string describing how key linkage is to be restricted. The restriction
option syntax is specific to each key type.

(*) Restrict keyring linkage
long keyctl(KEYCTL_RESTRICT_KEYRING, key_serial_t keyring,
const char *type, const char *restriction);
An existing keyring can restrict linkage of additional keys by evaluating
the contents of the key according to a restriction scheme.
"keyring" is the key ID for an existing keyring to apply a restriction
to. It may be empty or may already have keys linked. Existing linked keys
will remain in the keyring even if the new restriction would reject them.
"type" is a registered key type.
"restriction" is a string describing how key linkage is to be restricted.
The format varies depending on the key type, and the string is passed to
the lookup_restriction() function for the requested type. It may specify
a method and relevant data for the restriction such as signature
verification or constraints on key payload. If the requested key type is
later unregistered, no keys may be added to the keyring after the key type
is removed.
To apply a keyring restriction the process must have Set Attribute
permission and the keyring must not be previously restricted.
