Subject: [PATCH] fscrypt: fix dereference of NULL user_key_payload

When an fscrypt-encrypted file is opened, we request the file's master key from the keyrings service as a logon key, then access its payload. However, a revoked key has a NULL payload, and we failed to check for this. request_key() *does* skip revoked keys, but there is still a window where the key can be revoked before we acquire its semaphore.

Fix it by checking for a NULL payload, treating it like a key which was already revoked at the time it was requested.
