Subject: eCryptfs: ecryptfs_keyring_auth_tok_for_sig() bug fix
From: Roberto Sassu <[email protected]>
commit 1821df040ac3cd6a57518739f345da6d50ea9d3f upstream.
The pointer '(*auth_tok_key)' is set to NULL in case request_key()
fails, in order to prevent its use by functions calling
ecryptfs_keyring_auth_tok_for_sig().
