Subject: [PATCH 4.9 029/119] crypto: drbg - wait for crypto op not signal safe

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

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

From: Gilad Ben-Yossef <gilad@...yossef.com>

commit a5dfefb1c3f3db81662556393fd9283511e08430 upstream.

drbg_kcapi_sym_ctr() was using wait_for_completion_interruptible() to
wait for completion of async crypto op but if a signal occurs it
may return before DMA ops of HW crypto provider finish, thus
corrupting the output buffer.

Resolve this by using wait_for_completion() instead.
