keys: don't need to use RCU in keyring_read() as semaphore is held

keyring_read() doesn't need to use rcu_dereference() to access the keyring
payload as the caller holds the key semaphore to prevent modifications
from happening whilst the data is read out.

This should solve the following warning:

===================================================
[ INFO: suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage. ]
---------------------------------------------------
security/keys/keyring.c:204 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/2144:
 #0:  (&key->sem){+++++.}, at: [<ffffffff81177f7c>] keyctl_read_key+0x9c/0xcf
