[ 08/15] crypto: sanitize argument for format string

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 1c8fca1d92e14859159a82b8a380d220139b7344 upstream.

The template lookup interface does not provide a way to use format
strings, so make sure that the interface cannot be abused accidentally.
