Subject: [PATCH 2/2] crypto: chcr - Fix error checking

If 'chcr_alloc_shash()' a few lines above fails, 'base_hash' can be an
error pointer when we 'goto out'.
So checking for NULL here is not enough because it is likely that
'chcr_free_shash' will crash if we pass an error pointer.

Signed-off-by: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@...adoo.fr>

Another solution, amybe safer, would be to instrument 'chcr_free_shash' or
'crypto_free_shash' to accept an error pointer and return immediatelly in
such a case.
