Subject: [PATCH 4.4 088/117] crypto: algif_skcipher - Add key check exception for cipher_null

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

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

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

commit 6e8d8ecf438792ecf7a3207488fb4eebc4edb040 upstream.

This patch adds an exception to the key check so that cipher_null
users may continue to use algif_skcipher without setting a key.
