Subject[PATCH] crypto: af_alg - Work around empty control messages without MSG_MORE
The iwd daemon uses libell which sets up the skcipher operation with
two separate control messages. This is fine by itself but the first
control message is sent without MSG_MORE. This means that the first
control message is interpreted as an empty request.

While libell should be fixed to use MSG_MORE where appropriate, this
patch works around the bug in the kernel so that existing binaries
continue to work.

We will print a warning however.
