Subject: [PATCH 3.16 306/346] xfrm: Fix memory leak of aead algorithm name

3.16.39-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Ilan Tayari <ilant@...lanox.com>

commit b588479358ce26f32138e0f0a7ab0678f8e3e601 upstream.

commit 1a6509d99122 ("[IPSEC]: Add support for combined mode algorithms")
introduced aead. The function attach_aead kmemdup()s the algorithm
name during xfrm_state_construct().
However this memory is never freed.
Implementation has since been slightly modified in
commit ee5c23176fcc ("xfrm: Clone states properly on migration")
without resolving this leak.
This patch adds a kfree() call for the aead algorithm name.

Fixes: 1a6509d99122 ("[IPSEC]: Add support for combined mode algorithms")
