keys: Move the RCU locks outwards from the keyring search functions

Move the RCU locks outwards from the keyring search functions so that it
will become possible to provide an RCU-capable partial request_key()
function in a later commit.

 A search of any particular keyring proceeds in the following fashion:
 
-  1) When the key management code searches for a key (keyring_search_aux) it
+  1) When the key management code searches for a key (keyring_search_rcu) it
      firstly calls key_permission(SEARCH) on the keyring it's starting with,
      if this denies permission, it doesn't search further.
