Subject: [PATCH 3.2 80/87] crypto: algif_hash - Fix race condition in
 hash_check_key

3.2.77-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Herbert Xu <herbert@...dor.apana.org.au>

commit ad46d7e33219218605ea619e32553daf4f346b9f upstream.

We need to lock the child socket in hash_check_key as otherwise
two simultaneous calls can cause the parent socket to be freed.
