KEYS: Add new function key_create()

key_create() works like key_create_or_update() but does not allow
updating an existing key, instead returning ERR_PTR(-EEXIST).

key_create() will be used by the blacklist keyring which should not
create duplicate entries or update existing entries.
Instead a dedicated message with appropriate severity will be logged.
