KEYS: Propagate error code instead of returning -EINVAL
This is from a Smatch check I'm writing. strncpy_from_user() returns -EFAULT on error so the first change just silences a warning but doesn't change how the code works. The other change is a bug fix because install_thread_keyring_to_cred() can return a variety of errors such as -EINVAL, -EEXIST, -ENOMEM or -EKEYREVOKED.
