keys: Fix missing null pointer check in request_key_auth_describe()
If a request_key authentication token key gets revoked, there's a window in
which request_key_auth_describe() can see it with a NULL payload - but it
makes no check for this and something like the following oops may occur:
BUG: Kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0x00000038
Faulting instruction address: 0xc0000000004ddf30
Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]
...
NIP [...] request_key_auth_describe+0x90/0xd0
LR [...] request_key_auth_describe+0x54/0xd0
Call Trace:
[...] request_key_auth_describe+0x54/0xd0 (unreliable)
[...] proc_keys_show+0x308/0x4c0
[...] seq_read+0x3d0/0x540

[...] vfs_read+0xb4/0x1b0
[...] ksys_read+0x7c/0x130
[...] system_call+0x5c/0x70
Fix this by checking for a NULL pointer when describing such a key.
Also make the read routine check for a NULL pointer to be on the safe side.
[DH: Modified to not take already-held rcu lock and modified to also check
in the read routine]
