Subject: crypto: af_alg - fix race accessing cipher request

From: Stephan Mueller <[email protected]>

commit d53c5135792319e095bb126bc43b2ee98586f7fe upstream.

When invoking an asynchronous cipher operation, the invocation of the callback may be performed before the subsequent operations in the initial code path are invoked. The callback deletes the cipher request data structure which implies that after the invocation of the asynchronous cipher operation, this data structure must not be accessed any more.

The setting of the return code size with the request data structure must therefore be moved before the invocation of the asynchronous cipher operation.

Fixes e870456d8e7c ("crypto: algif_skcipher - overhaul memory management")
Fixes d887c52d6ae4 ("crypto: algif_aead - overhaul memory management")
