Subject: [PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 068/254] crypto: algif - avoid excessive use of socket buffer in skcipher

3.16.7-ckt2 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ondrej Kozina <okozina@...hat.com>

commit e2cffb5f493a8b431dc87124388ea59b79f0bccb upstream.

On archs with PAGE_SIZE >= 64 KiB the function skcipher_alloc_sgl()
fails with -ENOMEM no matter what user space actually requested.
This is caused by the fact sock_kmalloc call inside the function tried
to allocate more memory than allowed by the default kernel socket buffer
size (kernel param net.core.optmem_max).
