Hi Song, I'm having a bit of trouble reproducing this now. I'm going to
drop this patch from the series for now and see if something changed in
crypto layers or elsewhere. I originally saw this on a bit older kernel
so something might changed. Feels a bit like a work-around anyways so
I'll dig into it a bit more.

Either way I'll try and understand this a bit better. Thanks for the
question.
