Subject: [PATCH 5.4 75/92] crypto: user - fix memory leak in crypto_reportstat

From: Navid Emamdoost <navid.emamdoost@...il.com>

commit c03b04dcdba1da39903e23cc4d072abf8f68f2dd upstream.

In crypto_reportstat, a new skb is created by nlmsg_new(). This skb is
leaked if crypto_reportstat_alg() fails. Required release for skb is
added.

Fixes: cac5818c25d0 ("crypto: user - Implement a generic crypto statistics")
