watch_queue: Add a key/keyring notification facility

Add a key/keyring change notification facility whereby notifications about
changes in key and keyring content and attributes can be received.

Firstly, an event queue needs to be created:

	pipe2(fds, O_NOTIFICATION_PIPE);
	ioctl(fds[1], IOC_WATCH_QUEUE_SET_SIZE, 256);

then a notification can be set up to report notifications via that queue:

	struct watch_notification_filter filter = {
		.nr_filters = 1,
		.filters = {
			[0] = {
				.type = WATCH_TYPE_KEY_NOTIFY,
				.subtype_filter[0] = UINT_MAX,
			},
		},
	};
	ioctl(fds[1], IOC_WATCH_QUEUE_SET_FILTER, &filter);
	keyctl_watch_key(KEY_SPEC_SESSION_KEYRING, fds[1], 0x01);

After that, records will be placed into the queue when events occur in
which keys are changed in some way.  Records are of the following format:

	struct key_notification {
		struct watch_notification watch;
		__u32	key_id;
		__u32	aux;
	} *n;

Where:

	n->watch.type will be WATCH_TYPE_KEY_NOTIFY.

	n->watch.subtype will indicate the type of event, such as
	NOTIFY_KEY_REVOKED.

	n->watch.info & WATCH_INFO_LENGTH will indicate the length of the
	record.

	n->watch.info & WATCH_INFO_ID will be the second argument to
	keyctl_watch_key(), shifted.

	n->key will be the ID of the affected key.

	n->aux will hold subtype-dependent information, such as the key
	being linked into the keyring specified by n->key in the case of
	NOTIFY_KEY_LINKED.

Note that it is permissible for event records to be of variable length -
or, at least, the length may be dependent on the subtype.  Note also that
the queue can be shared between multiple notifications of various types.

written into the output buffer. Verification returns 0 on success.
* Watch a key or keyring for changes::
long keyctl(KEYCTL_WATCH_KEY, key_serial_t key, int queue_fd,
const struct watch_notification_filter *filter);
This will set or remove a watch for changes on the specified key or
keyring.
"key" is the ID of the key to be watched.
"queue_fd" is a file descriptor referring to an open "/dev/watch_queue"
which manages the buffer into which notifications will be delivered.
"filter" is either NULL to remove a watch or a filter specification to
indicate what events are required from the key.
See Documentation/watch_queue.rst for more information.
Note that only one watch may be emplaced for any particular { key,
queue_fd } combination.
Notification records look like::
struct key_notification {
struct watch_notification watch;
__u32 key_id;
__u32 aux;
};
In this, watch::type will be "WATCH_TYPE_KEY_NOTIFY" and subtype will be
one of::
NOTIFY_KEY_INSTANTIATED
NOTIFY_KEY_UPDATED
NOTIFY_KEY_LINKED
NOTIFY_KEY_UNLINKED
NOTIFY_KEY_CLEARED
NOTIFY_KEY_REVOKED
NOTIFY_KEY_INVALIDATED
NOTIFY_KEY_SETATTR
Where these indicate a key being instantiated/rejected, updated, a link
being made in a keyring, a link being removed from a keyring, a keyring
being cleared, a key being revoked, a key being invalidated or a key
having one of its attributes changed (user, group, perm, timeout,
restriction).
If a watched key is deleted, a basic watch_notification will be issued
with "type" set to WATCH_TYPE_META and "subtype" set to
watch_meta_removal_notification. The watchpoint ID will be set in the
"info" field.
This needs to be configured by enabling:
"Provide key/keyring change notifications" (KEY_NOTIFICATIONS)
