[LTP] [PATCH 1/2] syscalls/add_key02: remove test

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com>

add_key02 was supposed to be a "Basic test for the add_key() syscall",
but it actually happened to test the obscure case of passing a NULL
payload with nonzero length.  This case was mishandled by the kernel,
which either returned EINVAL or crashed with a NULL pointer dereference,
depending on the key type.  (The former applied to the test, as it used
the "user" key type.)  The expected behavior is that the syscall fail
with EFAULT.

As this is being fixed by the kernel patch "KEYS: fix dereferencing NULL
payload with nonzero length", the test needed to be updated.  To avoid
making it appear as a regression, just remove the test; the next patch
will add a replacement test as add_key03.  The new test will also be
more thorough as it will test other key types besides "user", including
ones that cause a NULL pointer dereference in unfixed kernels.
