KEYS: Add a new keyctl op to reject a key with a specified error code
Add a new keyctl op to reject a key with a specified error code. This works much the same as negating a key, and so keyctl_negate_key() is made a special case of keyctl_reject_key(). The difference is that keyctl_negate_key() selects ENOKEY as the error to be reported. Typically the key would be rejected with EKEYEXPIRED, EKEYREVOKED or EKEYREJECTED, but this is not mandatory.
