Subject: Another regression in the af_alg series (s390x-specific)

Hi,

It turns out that beneath the first bug [1] there was another one
hiding. It seems to happen only on the s390x architecture when running
the following libkcapi [2] reproducer:

kcapi -x 2 -s -c "gcm(aes)" -i 0d92aa861746b324f20ee6b7 \
    -k f4a6a5e5f2066f6dd9ec6fc5169c29043560ef595c9e81e76f42d29212cc581c \
    -a "" -t 5f24c68cbe6f32c29652442bf5d483ad -q ""

Frequently (but not always) it triggers an oops like this one:

[ 3986.766763] Unable to handle kernel pointer dereference in virtual
kernel address space
[ 3986.766774] Failing address: 0000000a00000000 TEID: 0000000a00000803

This time the regression was bisected to:

commit c1abe6f570aff4b6d396dc551e60570d2f50bd79
Author: David Howells <dhowells@...hat.com>
Date:   Tue Jun 6 14:08:52 2023 +0100

   crypto: af_alg: Use extract_iter_to_sg() to create scatterlists

I can't see what the problem is with the commit, so I'm reporting here
hoping that David or someone else can pick it up from here.

Cheers,
Ondrej
