Subject: [PATCH 4.2.y-ckt 112/273] crypto: algif_skcipher - Do not set MAY_BACKLOG on the async path

4.2.8-ckt5 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

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

commit dad41997063723eaf5f77bc2015606a5a9bce320 upstream.

The async path cannot use MAY_BACKLOG because it is not meant to
block, which is what MAY_BACKLOG does.  On the other hand, both
the sync and async paths can make use of MAY_SLEEP.
