Subject: [PATCH 4.3 007/200] crypto: talitos - Fix timing leak in ESP ICV verification

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

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

From: David Gstir <david@...ma-star.at>

commit 79960943fdc114fd4583c9ab164b5c89da7aa601 upstream.

Using non-constant time memcmp() makes the verification of the authentication
tag in the decrypt path vulnerable to timing attacks. Fix this by using
crypto_memneq() instead.
