commit 1a0fad630e0b7cff38e7691b28b0517cfbb0633f upstream.
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)

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
