[lvc-project] [PATCH v2] KEYS: prevent NULL pointer dereference in find_asymmetric_key()

In find_asymmetric_key(), if all NULLs are passed in id_{0,1,2} parameters
the kernel will first emit WARN and then have an oops because id_2 gets
dereferenced anyway.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Svace static
analysis tool.

Fixes: 7d30198ee24f ("keys: X.509 public key issuer lookup without AKID")
