Subject: [PATCH 4.2.y-ckt 161/268] crypto: algif_skcipher - Fix race condition in skcipher_check_key

4.2.8-ckt3 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Herbert Xu <herbert@...dor.apana.org.au>

commit 1822793a523e5d5730b19cc21160ff1717421bc8 upstream.

We need to lock the child socket in skcipher_check_key as otherwise
two simultaneous calls can cause the parent socket to be freed.
