commit 1a0fad630e0b7cff38e7691b28b0517cfbb0633f upstream.
cryptd_skcipher_free() fails to free the struct skcipher_instance
allocated in cryptd_create_skcipher(), leading to a memory leak. This
is detected by kmemleak on bootup on ARM64 platforms:
unreferenced object 0xffff80003377b180 (size 1024):
comm "cryptomgr_probe", pid 822, jiffies 4294894830 (age 52.760s)
backtrace:
