I find there is a crypto_shash_tfm() in the definition of
crypto_free_shash(). Will this lead to null pointer dereference
when we use it to free a NULL pointer?

There's no need to check for NULL before calling crypto_free_shash().

[PATCH] evm: Fix memleak in init_desc
When kmalloc() fails, tmp_tfm allocated by
crypto_alloc_shash() has not been freed, which
leads to memleak.
Fixes: d46eb3699502b ("evm: crypto hash replaced by shash")
