Subject: [PATCH 4.4 09/16] crypto: mcryptd - Check mcryptd algorithm compatibility

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

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

From: tim <tim.c.chen@...ux.intel.com>

commit 48a992727d82cb7db076fa15d372178743b1f4cd upstream.

Algorithms not compatible with mcryptd could be spawned by mcryptd
with a direct crypto_alloc_tfm invocation using a "mcryptd(alg)" name
construct.  This causes mcryptd to crash the kernel if an arbitrary
"alg" is incompatible and not intended to be used with mcryptd.  It is
an issue if AF_ALG tries to spawn mcryptd(alg) to expose it externally.
But such algorithms must be used internally and not be exposed.

We added a check to enforce that only internal algorithms are allowed
with mcryptd at the time mcryptd is spawning an algorithm.
