[PATCH] keys: discard the contents of a key on revocation
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Cause the keys linked to a keyring to be unlinked from it when revoked and it
causes the data attached to a user-defined key to be discarded when revoked.

This frees up most of the quota a key occupied at that point, rather than
waiting for the key to actually be destroyed.
