KEYS: keyctl_get_keyring_ID() should create a session keyring if create flag set

The keyctl call:

	keyctl_get_keyring_ID(KEY_SPEC_SESSION_KEYRING, 1)

should create a session keyring if the process doesn't have one of its own
because the create flag argument is set - rather than subscribing to and
returning the user-session keyring as:

	keyctl_get_keyring_ID(KEY_SPEC_SESSION_KEYRING, 0)

will do.

This can be tested by commenting out pam_keyinit in the /etc/pam.d files and
running the following program a couple of times in a row:

	#include <stdio.h>
	#include <stdlib.h>
	#include <keyutils.h>
	int main(int argc, char *argv[])
	{
		key_serial_t uk, usk, sk, nsk;
		uk  = keyctl_get_keyring_ID(KEY_SPEC_USER_KEYRING, 0);
		usk = keyctl_get_keyring_ID(KEY_SPEC_USER_SESSION_KEYRING, 0);
		sk  = keyctl_get_keyring_ID(KEY_SPEC_SESSION_KEYRING, 0);
		nsk = keyctl_get_keyring_ID(KEY_SPEC_SESSION_KEYRING, 1);
		printf("keys: %08x %08x %08x %08x\n", uk, usk, sk, nsk);
		return 0;
	}

Without this patch, I see:

	keys: 3975ddc7 119c0c66 119c0c66 119c0c66
	keys: 3975ddc7 119c0c66 119c0c66 119c0c66

With this patch, I see:

	keys: 2cb4997b 34112878 34112878 17db2ce3
	keys: 2cb4997b 34112878 34112878 39f3c73e

As can be seen, the session keyring starts off the same as the user-session
keyring each time, but with the patch a new session keyring is created when
the create flag is set.
