Subject: [PATCH] net: ceph: Fix a possible null-pointer dereference in ceph_crypto_key_destroy()

In set_secret(), key->tfm is assigned to NULL on line 55, and then
ceph_crypto_key_destroy(key) is executed.

ceph_crypto_key_destroy(key)
    crypto_free_sync_skcipher(key->tfm)
        crypto_skcipher_tfm(tfm)
            return &tfm->base;

Thus, a possible null-pointer dereference may occur.

To fix this bug, key->tfm is checked before calling
crypto_free_sync_skcipher().

This bug is found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us.
