crash_dump: fix dm_crypt keys locking and ref leak
crash_load_dm_crypt_keys() reads dm-crypt volume keys from the user
keyring. It uses user_key_payload_locked() without holding key->sem,
which makes lockdep complain when kexec_file_load() assembles the crash
image:
=============================
WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
-----------------------------
./include/keys/user-type.h:53 suspicious rcu_dereference_protected() usage!
other info that might help us debug this:
rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1
no locks held by kexec/4875.
stack backtrace:
Call Trace:

In addition, the key returned by request_key() is never key_put()'d,
leaking a key reference on each load attempt.
Take key->sem while copying the payload and drop the key reference
afterwards.
