[PATCH] crypto: x86/sha1: fix coverity CID 1195603

From: Milos Vyletel
Date: Wed Apr 30 2014 - 15:18:16 EST


Coverity detected possible use of uninitialized pointer when printing info
message during module load. While this is higly unlikely to cause any troubles
simple change in sha1_ssse3_mod_init to make it look like sha256/512 init
function will fix this.

260
6. Condition sha1_transform_asm, taking true branch
261 if (sha1_transform_asm) {

CID 1195603 (#1 of 1): Uninitialized pointer read (UNINIT)
7. uninit_use_in_call: Using uninitialized value algo_name when calling printk.
262 pr_info("Using %s optimized SHA-1 implementation\n", algo_name);
263 return crypto_register_shash(&alg);
264 }
