Remove a missed __user annotation from the prototype for
keyring_read(). This cures a sparse warning when it complains about
the difference in the prototype and the function definition.
security/keys/keyring.c:481:13: sparse: long static [signed] [toplevel] keyring_read( ... )
security/keys/keyring.c:81:13: sparse: long static [addressable] [signed] [toplevel] keyring_read( ... )
Fixes: 796e46f9e2cb ("keys: Remove outdated __user annotations").
