KEYS: Make request_key() and co. return an error for a negative key

Browse source 
Make request_key() and co. return an error for a negative or rejected key.  If
the key was simply negated, then return ENOKEY, otherwise return the error
with which it was rejected.

Without this patch, the following command returns a key number (with the latest
keyutils):

	[root@andromeda ~]# keyctl request2 user debug:foo rejected @s
	586569904

Trying to print the key merely gets you a permission denied error:

	[root@andromeda ~]# keyctl print 586569904
	keyctl_read_alloc: Permission denied

Doing another request_key() call does get you the error, as long as it hasn't
expired yet:

	[root@andromeda ~]# keyctl request user debug:foo
	request_key: Key was rejected by service
