[PATCH] Keys: Possessor permissions should be additive

[David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>]

This patch makes the possessor permissions on a key additive with
user/group/other permissions on the same key.

This permits extra rights to be granted to the possessor of a key without
taking away any rights conferred by them owning the key or having common group
membership.

This needs to be applied on top of the patch ensubjected:
