Subject: Crypto Fixes for 3.3

Hi Linus:

This push fixes a race condition in sha512 that affects users
who use it in process context and softirq context concurrently,
in particular, this affects IPsec.  The result of the race is
the production of incorrect hashes, which for IPsec leands to
loss of connectivity.

Please pull from

or

Alexey Dobriyan (2):
      crypto: sha512 - make it work, undo percpu message schedule
      crypto: sha512 - reduce stack usage to safe number
