I would prefer the put to be outside of the locked section.  How about the
attached instead?

    KEYS: put keyring if install_session_keyring_to_cred() fails
    
    In join_session_keyring(), if install_session_keyring_to_cred() were to
    fail, we would leak the keyring reference, just like in the bug fixed by
    commit 23567fd052a9 ("KEYS: Fix keyring ref leak in
    join_session_keyring()").  Fortunately this cannot happen currently, but
    we really should be more careful.  Do this by adding and using a new
    error label at which the keyring reference is dropped.
