Subject: crypto: cryptd - initialize child shash_desc on import

From: Ard Biesheuvel <[email protected]>

commit 0bd2223594a4dcddc1e34b15774a3a4776f7749e upstream.

When calling .import() on a cryptd ahash_request, the structure members that describe the child transform in the shash_desc need to be initialized like they are when calling .init()
