Subject: [PATCH] Fix race condition and remove redundant kekSalt for OIDC
 users

Critical fixes:

1. Race Condition Mitigation:
   - Added read-after-write verification in setupOIDCUserEncryption()
   - Ensures session uses the DEK that's actually in the database
   - Prevents data loss when concurrent logins occur for new OIDC users
   - If race is detected, discards generated DEK and uses stored one

2. Remove Redundant kekSalt Logic:
   - Removed unnecessary kekSalt generation and checks for OIDC users
   - kekSalt is not used in OIDC key derivation (uses userId as salt)
   - Reduces database operations from 4 to 2 per authentication
   - Simplifies code and removes potential confusion

3. Improved Error Handling:
   - systemKey cleanup moved to finally block
   - Ensures sensitive key material is always cleared from memory

These changes ensure data consistency and prevent potential data loss
in high-concurrency scenarios.
