Thanks, looks like I left out the sg_is_last check in restoring
adding scatterwalk_sg_next.  Worse yet, eseqiv doesn't even
encrypt the last block.  It's a good thing the hifn driver doesn't
work yet :)

Cheers,

    [CRYPTO] api: Fix scatterwalk_sg_chain
    
    When I backed out of using the generic sg chaining (as it isn't currently
    portable) and introduced scatterwalk_sg_chain/scatterwalk_sg_next I left
    out the sg_is_last check in the latter.  This causes it to potentially
    dereference beyond the end of the sg array.
    
    As most uses of scatterwalk_sg_next are bound by an overall length, this
    only affected the chaining code in authenc and eseqiv. Thanks to Patrick
    McHardy for identifying this problem.

    [CRYPTO] eseqiv: Fix off-by-one encryption
    
    After attaching the IV to the head during encryption, eseqiv does not
    increase the encryption length by that amount.  As such the last block
    of the actual plain text will be left unencrypted.
    
    Fortunately the only user of this code hifn currently crashes so this
    shouldn't affect anyone :)
