[ Upstream commit 8d4a2ec1 ]

Changes since V1: fixed the description and added KASan warning.

In assoc_array_insert_into_terminal_node(), we call the
compare_object() method on all non-empty slots, even when they're
not leaves, passing a pointer to an unexpected structure to
compare_object(). Currently it causes an out-of-bound read access
in keyring_compare_object detected by KASan (see below). The issue
is easily reproduced with keyutils testsuite.
Only call compare_object() when the slot is a leave.

KASan warning:
