To be honest, I thought about it. Probably yes, I should do some
sanitization, like I did for the keyring ID. When I checked
lookup_user_key(), I saw that flags are checked individually, so
an arbitrary value passed to the helper should not cause harm.
Will do sanitization, if you prefer. It is just that we have to keep
the eBPF code in sync with key flag definition (unless we have
a 'last' flag).

Thanks
