    Fix the following RCU warning:
    
    ===================================================
    [ INFO: suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage. ]
    ---------------------------------------------------
    security/keys/request_key.c:116 invoked rcu_dereference_check() without protection!
    
    other info that might help us debug this:
    
    rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 0
    1 lock held by keyctl/5372:
