From what I have seen how the buffers are allocated via __get_free_page() I
thought so too. However, as it previously read

if (aad_size < PAGE_SIZE)
memset(assoc, 0xff, aad_size);
else {

my intention was simply to make the modification so that the bug is addressed
without introducing an additional change.
