Well a bogus mask shouldn't lead to the warning anyway.

The warning in question is triggered only if crypto_schedule_test
returns NOTIFY_OK, which can only happen if try_module_get fails,
kzalloc fails, or if kthread_run fails.  All of these would be
real bugs (well except for the kzalloc failure perhaps).

Thanks,
