Subject: [PATCH 02/10] md/dm-crypt: Reduce the scope for a variable in
 crypt_alloc_tfms()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>

Move the definition for the variable "err" (including its declaration)
into an if branch (so that the corresponding setting will only be performed
if a call of the function "crypto_alloc_skcipher" failed as before
this refactoring).
