Since I was a little puzzled as to why keyutils built previously on
mips, I found this commit to 4.8 which caused the need for KEYS_COMPAT:

commit 20f06ed9f61a185c6dabd662c310bed6189470df

    KEYS: 64-bit MIPS needs to use compat_sys_keyctl for 32-bit userspace
    
    MIPS64 needs to use compat_sys_keyctl for 32-bit userspace rather than
    calling sys_keyctl.  The latter will work in a lot of cases, thereby hiding
    the issue.

Now I'm thinking maybe this can be argued as a bugfix for the above
commit and put in upstream 4.9?
