KEYS: Don't call up_write() if __key_link_begin() returns an error

In construct_alloc_key(), up_write() is called in the error path if
__key_link_begin() fails, but this is incorrect as __key_link_begin() only
returns with the nominated keyring locked if it returns successfully.

Without this patch, you might see the following in dmesg:

	=====================================
	[ BUG: bad unlock balance detected! ]
	-------------------------------------
	mount.cifs/5769 is trying to release lock (&key->sem) at:
	[<ffffffff81201159>] request_key_and_link+0x263/0x3fc
	but there are no more locks to release!

	other info that might help us debug this:
