Can you check back earlier in the dmesg to see whether the kernel tried to
load the key?  -11 is presumably -EAGAIN - in which case no such key was found
(rather than there being a cached lookup failure which is what -ENOKEY would
indicate).  It is possible that you encountered the key-not-yet-valid problem
due to your h/w clock showing a value prior to the start date on the key.

I think this bit should be waved in front of Rusty.  It looks like it might be
a bug in error handling code.
