[PATCH] security/keys: Remove inconsistent __user annotation

flat view
STALE1505d

From: Vincenzo Frascino <vincenzo.frascino@arm.com>

Also in: lkml
Subsystem: keys/keyrings, security subsystem, the rest · Maintainers: David Howells, Jarkko Sakkinen, Paul Moore, James Morris, "Serge E. Hallyn", Linus Torvalds

The declaration of keyring_read does not match the definition
(security/keys/keyring.c). In this case the definition is correct
because it matches what defined in "struct key_type::read"
(linux/key-type.h).

Fix the declaration removing the inconsistent __user annotation.
