This prevents me from taking this to my pull request. In moderns standards,
no new BUG_ON(), panic() etc. should never added to the kernel.

I missed this in my review.

This should rather be e.g.

        restriction = kzalloc(sizeof(*restriction), GFP_KERNEL);
	if (!restriction) {
		pr_err("Can't allocate blacklist keyring restriction\n");
                return 0;
        }

Unfortunately I need to drop this patch set, because adding new panic()
is simply a no-go.
