Subject: [PATCH 4.9 02/21] crypto: n2 - cure use after free

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

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

From: Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@...i.de>

commit 203f45003a3d03eea8fa28d74cfc74c354416fdb upstream.

queue_cache_init is first called for the Control Word Queue
(n2_crypto_probe). At that time, queue_cache[0] is NULL and a new
kmem_cache will be allocated. If the subsequent n2_register_algs call
fails, the kmem_cache will be released in queue_cache_destroy, but
queue_cache_init[0] is not set back to NULL.

So when the Module Arithmetic Unit gets probed next (n2_mau_probe),
queue_cache_init will not allocate a kmem_cache again, but leave it
as its bogus value, causing a BUG() to trigger when queue_cache[0] is
eventually passed to kmem_cache_zalloc:

	n2_crypto: Found N2CP at /virtual-devices@.../n2cp@7
	n2_crypto: Registered NCS HVAPI version 2.0
	called queue_cache_init
	n2_crypto: md5 alg registration failed
	n2cp f028687c: /virtual-devices@.../n2cp@7: Unable to register algorithms.
	called queue_cache_destroy
	n2cp: probe of f028687c failed with error -22
	n2_crypto: Found NCP at /virtual-devices@.../ncp@6
	n2_crypto: Registered NCS HVAPI version 2.0
	called queue_cache_init
	kernel BUG at mm/slab.c:2993!
	Call Trace:
