Subject: [PATCH 3.10 18/18] Revert: "crypto: af_alg - Disallow bind/setkey/... after accept(2)"

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

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

This reverts commit 5a707f0972e1c9d8a4a921ddae79d0f9dc36a341 which is
commit c840ac6af3f8713a71b4d2363419145760bd6044 upstream.

It's been widely reported that this patch breaks existing userspace
applications when backported to the stable kernel releases.  As no fix
seems to be forthcoming, just revert it to let systems work again.
