Subject: [PATCH v2 3/4] crypto: gcm wait for crypto op not signal safe

crypto_gcm_setkey() was using wait_for_completion_interruptible() to
wait for completion of async crypto op but if a signal occurs it
may return before DMA ops of HW crypto provider finish, thus
corrupting the data buffer that is kfree'ed in this case.

Resolve this by using wait_for_completion() instead.
