KEYS: load key flags and expiry time atomically in key_validate()
In key_validate(), load the flags and expiry time once atomically, since these can change concurrently if key_validate() is called without the key semaphore held. And we don't want to get inconsistent results if a variable is referenced multiple times. For example, key->expiry was referenced in both 'if (key->expiry)' and in 'if (now.tv_sec >= key->expiry)', making it theoretically possible to see a spurious EKEYEXPIRED while the expiration time was being removed, i.e. set to 0.
