David Howells c08ef808ef KEYS: Fix garbage collector
Fix a number of problems with the new key garbage collector:

 (1) A rogue semicolon in keyring_gc() was causing the initial count of dead
     keys to be miscalculated.

 (2) A missing return in keyring_gc() meant that under certain circumstances,
     the keyring semaphore would be unlocked twice.

 (3) The key serial tree iterator (key_garbage_collector()) part of the garbage
     collector has been modified to:

     (a) Complete each scan of the keyrings before setting the new timer.

     (b) Only set the new timer for keys that have yet to expire.  This means
         that the new timer is now calculated correctly, and the gc doesn't
         get into a loop continually scanning for keys that have expired, and
         preventing other things from happening, like RCU cleaning up the old
         keyring contents.

     (c) Perform an extra scan if any keys were garbage collected in this one
     	 as a key might become garbage during a scan, and (b) could mean we
     	 don't set the timer again.

 (4) Made key_schedule_gc() take the time at which to do a collection run,
     rather than the time at which the key expires.  This means the collection
     of dead keys (key type unregistered) can happen immediately.
