Yes that's pretty much it. Cloning a tfm is basically exactly
the same as allocating a tfm, except that instead of going through
the init_tfm code-path it executes clone_tfm instead (thus allowing
any internal data structures to either be shared or allocated with
GFP_ATOMIC).
The key will be unset just like a freshly allocated tfm.
