This problem occurs in the application code of the encryption usage scenario
(unfortunately, these codes are not open to the public and cannot be given to you),
but its code logic is similar to test_skcipher_vec_cfg() in kernel\crypto\testmgr.c,
and it is also in accordance with this call logic execution:
crypto_alloc_skcipher()--->skcipher_request_alloc()--->crypto_skcipher_setkey()--->
sg_init_table()--->skcipher_request_set_crypt()--->
crypto_skcipher_encrypt()/crypto_skcipher_decrypt()--->
skcipher_request_free()--->crypto_free_skcipher()

Just don't add "wait" and skcipher_request_set_callback(),
use it as a synchronous mode.

Thanks
Longfang.
