keys: Do not cache key in task struct if key is requested from kernel thread

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2013349

The key which gets cached in task structure from a kernel thread does not
get invalidated even after expiry. Due to which, a new key request from
kernel thread will be served with the cached key if it's present in task
struct irrespective of the key validity. The change is to not cache key in
task_struct when key requested from kernel thread so that kernel thread
gets a valid key on every key request.

The problem has been seen with the cifs module doing DNS lookups from a
kernel thread and the results getting pinned by being attached to that
kernel thread's cache - and thus not something that can be easily got rid
of. The cache would ordinarily be cleared by notify-resume, but kernel
threads don't do that.

This isn't seen with AFS because AFS is doing request_key() within the
kernel half of a user thread - which will do notify-resume.
