Subject: crypto: x86/sha1-mb - fix panic due to unaligned access

From: Andrey Ryabinin <[email protected]>

commit d041b557792c85677f17e08eee535eafbd6b9aa2 upstream.

struct sha1_ctx_mgr allocated in sha1_mb_mod_init() via kzalloc() and later passed in sha1_mb_flusher_mgr_flush_avx2() function where instructions vmovdqa used to access the struct. vmovdqa requires 16-bytes aligned argument, but nothing guarantees that struct sha1_ctx_mgr will have that alignment. Unaligned vmovdqa will generate GP fault.

Fix this by replacing vmovdqa with vmovdqu which doesn't have alignment requirements.
