6.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Michael Bommarito <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 58565eef0f8d861aae92abfb7658458d661cee17 ]

keyring_get_key_chunk() loads description bytes into the index chunk low
address first, while keyring_diff_objects() numbers the first differing
bit from the low end and folds the absolute byte index into the level
without removing the inline-prefix offset the level already carries.
The two disagree on byte order and bit position, so the array can be
told two keys first differ at a bit that does not differ in the chunk
the walker uses, letting crafted descriptions collide into one node.

Load the chunk in the order keyring_diff_objects() assumes and drop the
inline-prefix length when folding the byte index into the level.  This
only changes the in-memory ordering used to place keys within a keyring;
add, search and read of non-colliding keys are unaffected.
