Subject: [PATCH 4.16 10/31] crypto: lrw - Free rctx->ext with kzfree

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

From: Herbert Xu <herbert@...dor.apana.org.au>

commit 8c9bdab21289c211ca1ca6a5f9b7537b4a600a02 upstream.

The buffer rctx->ext contains potentially sensitive data and should
be freed with kzfree.
