+ KEYS: Fix a NULL pointer deref in the user-defined key type
+
+ Fix a NULL pointer deref in the user-defined key type whereby updating a
+ negative key into a fully instantiated key will cause an oops to occur
+ when the code attempts to free the non-existent old payload.
+
+ This results in an oops that looks something like the following:
