Subject: [PATCH 4.9 014/139] crypto: algif_aead - Do not set MAY_BACKLOG on the async path

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

commit cbdad1f246dd98e6c9c32a6e5212337f542aa7e0 upstream.

The async path cannot use MAY_BACKLOG because it is not meant to
block, which is what MAY_BACKLOG does.  On the other hand, both
the sync and async paths can make use of MAY_SLEEP.

Fixes: 83094e5e9e49 ("crypto: af_alg - add async support to...")
