From: Andrea Cervesato <andrea.cervesato@suse.com>
Test basic moving of a key between two keyrings with KEYCTL_MOVE:
verify the key is moved to the destination and no longer found in
the source keyring.
Reviewed-by: Petr Vorel <pvorel@suse.cz>

[ pvorel:
* Use SAFE_NEW_RING(), SAFE_NEW_USER_KEY(), keyctl() instead of
search_ring()
* Remove keyctl(KEYCTL_UNLINK, ...) check (Cyril)
]

NOTE: I found on VM with 6.17.0-rc5-4.gc548b9b-default that keyctl15.c
fails:
keyctl15.c:46: TFAIL: empty label is not NUL terminated
That might be a reason why Andrea did not test it on failure
(modification asked by Cyril).
