You can't do this. This check ensures that the key responds correctly
to user_key_payload_locked() lower down. To do that, the payload has
to be in a specific form. You ensured that yours are, but dm-crypt
will now accept any key type, load the user payload blindly and create
all sorts of mayhem in the kernel because of the structural differences
in payload types.
