KEYS: Protect pkey method checks against type removal (2026-11-13 06:28:55 +0200)

----------------------------------------------------------------
[GIT PULL] KEYS: changes for v7.4-rc3-2

This second PR for v7.4-rc3 bundles two bug fixes:

1. Invoke the match callback before the state checks in keyring_search_iterator(), so that a non-matching revoked, expired or invalidated key cannot decide the search result.
2. Take key->sem for reading around the ->asym_*() method calls in the keyctl pkey operations, as a key reference does not pin the module providing the key type.

I decided to send this in order to get the remaining key type fixes off the way.

As said earlier this week, I have made a patch set, making the life-time of a key type dependent of the keys that use it at the kernel module level. My goal is to land both rhashtable changes and key type changes to v7.5, as that would provide a nice baseline to further improving keyrings (and IMHO best picks as starting points overall).
