OK I see the problem now.  When accept fails we free the socket
twice.

Subject: crypto: af_alg - Fix socket double-free when accept fails

When we fail an accept(2) call we will end up freeing the socket
twice, once due to the direct sk_free call and once again through
newsock.

This patch fixes this by removing the sk_free call.
