Subject: [PATCH 4.1 53/84] crypto: qat - Fix invalid synchronization between register/unregister sym algs

4.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Tadeusz Struk <tadeusz.struk@...el.com>

commit 6f043b50da8e03bdcc5703fd37ea45bc6892432f upstream.

The synchronization method used atomic was bogus.
Use a proper synchronization with mutex.
