[PATCH] algif_skcipher: Avoid crash if buffer is not multiple of cipher block size

From: Milan Broz

When user requests encryption (or decryption) of block which
is not aligned to cipher block size through userspace crypto
interface, an OOps like this can happen:

Patch fixes it by simply rejecting buffer which is not multiple of cipher block.

(Bug is present in all stable kernels as well.)
