crash_load_dm_crypt_keys() reads dm-crypt volume keys from the user
keyring.  It uses user_key_payload_locked() without holding key->sem,
which makes lockdep complain when kexec_file_load() assembles the crash
image:

  =============================
  WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
  -----------------------------
  ./include/keys/user-type.h:53 suspicious rcu_dereference_protected() usage!

  other info that might help us debug this:

  rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1
  no locks held by kexec/4875.

In addition, the key returned by request_key() is never key_put()'d,
leaking a key reference on each load attempt.

Take key->sem while copying the payload and drop the key reference
afterwards.
