KEYS: Better handling of errors from construct_alloc_key()

Errors from construct_alloc_key() shouldn't just be ignored in the way they are
by construct_key_and_link().  The only error that can be ignored so is
EINPROGRESS as that is used to indicate that we've found a key and don't need
to construct one.

We don't, however, handle ENOMEM, EDQUOT or EACCES to indicate allocation
failures of one sort or another.
