Subject: [PATCH 4.19 25/51] pstore: Set tfm to NULL on free_buf_for_compression

From: Pi-Hsun Shih <pihsun@...omium.org>

commit a9fb94a99bb515d8720ba8440ce3aba84aec80f8 upstream.

Set tfm to NULL on free_buf_for_compression() after crypto_free_comp().

This avoid a use-after-free when allocate_buf_for_compression()
and free_buf_for_compression() are called twice. Although
free_buf_for_compression() freed the tfm, allocate_buf_for_compression()
won't reinitialize the tfm since the tfm pointer is not NULL.
