KEYS: Fix error handling in big_key instantiation
In the big_key_instantiate() function we return 0 if kernel_write() returns us an error rather than returning an error. This can potentially lead to dentry_open() giving a BUG when called from big_key_read() with an unset tmpfile path. ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at fs/open.c:798! ... RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff8119bbd1>] dentry_open+0xd1/0xe0 ...
