Subject[PATCH] crypto: cryptd - Fix skcipher instance memory leak
Date
cryptd_skcipher_free() fails to free the struct skcipher_instance
allocated in cryptd_create_skcipher(), leading to a memory leak. This
is detected by kmemleak on bootup on ARM64 platforms:

unreferenced object 0xffff80003377b180 (size 1024):
comm "cryptomgr_probe", pid 822, jiffies 4294894830 (age 52.760s)
backtrace:
kmem_cache_alloc_trace+0x270/0x2d0
cryptd_create+0x990/0x124c
cryptomgr_probe+0x5c/0x1e8
kthread+0x258/0x318
ret_from_fork+0x10/0x1c
