Its only caller is

static int skcipher_recvmsg(struct socket *sock, struct msghdr *msg,
                            size_t ignored, int flags)
{
        return (msg->msg_iocb && !is_sync_kiocb(msg->msg_iocb)) ?
                skcipher_recvmsg_async(sock, msg, flags) :
                skcipher_recvmsg_sync(sock, msg, flags);
}

Note that !is_sync_kiocb() in there.  Compare with init_sync_kiocb() in
sock_recvmsg()...
