Subject: [PATCH] polkit: when authorizing via PK let's re-resolve

 callback/userdata instead of caching it

Previously, when doing an async PK query we'd store the original

callback/userdata pair and call it again after the PK request is

complete. This is problematic, since PK queries might be slow and in the

meantime the userdata might be released and re-acquired. Let's avoid

this by always traversing through the message handlers so that we always

re-resolve the callback and userdata pair and thus can be sure it's

up-to-date and properly valid.

Resolves: CVE-2020-1712
