Subject: [PATCH] Crypto: Don't use err uninitialized in
algif_hash.c:hash_sendmsg()
If af_alg_make_sg() returns <0 in hash_sendmsg() we'll jump to the
'unlock' label without having set 'err' to anything. At the 'unlock'
label the value of 'err' is tested to determine return value of the
function - not good to base that on a uninitialized variable.
This patch sets 'err' to the return value of hash_sendmsg() before the
'goto' when the value is less than zero, which seems to me to be the
proper thing to do.
