Hopefully this takes care of all complaints and can actually get merged so 
we can get the leak fixed (patch is against current cryptodev-2.6 tree).


Fix up previous patch that failed to properly fix mem leak in 
rfc4106_set_hash_subkey(). This add-on patch; fixes the leak. moves 
kfree() out of the error path, returns -ENOMEM rather than -EINVAL when 
ablkcipher_request_alloc() fails.
