KEYS/DNS: Fix ____call_usermodehelper() to not lose the session keyring 



____call_usermodehelper() now erases any credentials set by the
subprocess_inf::init() function.  The problem is that commit
17f60a7d ("capabilites: allow the application of capability limits
to usermode helpers") creates and commits new credentials with
prepare_kernel_cred() after the call to the init() function.  This wipes
all keyrings after umh_keys_init() is called.

The best way to deal with this is to put the init() call just prior to
the commit_creds() call, and pass the cred pointer to init().  That
means that umh_keys_init() and suchlike can modify the credentials
_before_ they are published and potentially in use by the rest of the
system.

This prevents request_key() from working as it is prevented from passing
the session keyring it set up with the authorisation token to
/sbin/request-key, and so the latter can't assume the authority to
instantiate the key.  This causes the in-kernel DNS resolver to fail
with ENOKEY unconditionally.
