FWIW, Ack from me.  The assignment of NULL to key can safely be removed, since
key_for_each (which is just list_for_each_entry under the covers does an initial
assignment to key anyway).
If the endpoint_shared_keys list is empty, or if the key_id being requested does
not exist, the function as it currently stands returns the actuall list_head (in
this case endpoint_shared_keys.  Since that list_head isn't surrounded by an
actuall data structure, the last iteration through list_for_each_entry will do a
container_of on key, and we wind up returning a bogus pointer, instead of NULL,
as we should.  Wei's patch corrects that.
