Subject: [PATCH 5.5 114/367] crypto: api - Check spawn->alg under lock in crypto_drop_spawn

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

commit 7db3b61b6bba4310f454588c2ca6faf2958ad79f upstream.

We need to check whether spawn->alg is NULL under lock as otherwise
the algorithm could be removed from under us after we have checked
it and found it to be non-NULL.  This could cause us to remove the
spawn from a non-existent list.
