Subject[patch 23/76] CRYPTO xcbc: Fix crash with IPsec
-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
---------------------
From: Joy Latten <latten@austin.ibm.com>

[ Upstream commit: 2f40a178e70030c4712fe63807c883f34c3645eb ]

When using aes-xcbc-mac for authentication in IPsec,
the kernel crashes. It seems this algorithm doesn't
account for the space IPsec may make in scatterlist for authtag.
Thus when crypto_xcbc_digest_update2() gets called,
nbytes may be less than sg[i].length.
Since nbytes is an unsigned number, it wraps
at the end of the loop allowing us to go back
into loop and causing crash in memcpy.

I used update function in digest.c to model this fix.
Please let me know if it looks ok.
