Although the following remark is to the previous patch to add 
scatterwalk_ffwd, I would like to ask it here:

Shouldn't there be a check for src == NULL here? I see the scatterwalk_ffwd 
being used in the IV generators where they simply use the AD len and others. 
For AF_ALG, those values may be set by user space in a deliberately wrong way 
(e.g. more AD len than provided buffers).
