Herbert, if it's not too late can you fix the subject?  It got split into two
lines:

commit 887207ed9e5812ed9239b6d07185a2d35dda91db
Author: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Tue Nov 28 00:46:24 2017 -0800

    crypto: af_alg - fix NULL pointer dereference in
    
     af_alg_free_areq_sgls()
    
    If allocating the ->tsgl member of 'struct af_alg_async_req' failed,
    during cleanup we dereferenced the NULL ->tsgl pointer in
    af_alg_free_areq_sgls(), because ->tsgl_entries was nonzero.
    
    Fix it by only freeing the ->tsgl list if it is non-NULL.
    
    This affected both algif_skcipher and algif_aead.
    
    Fixes: e870456d8e7c ("crypto: algif_skcipher - overhaul memory management")
    Fixes: d887c52d6ae4 ("crypto: algif_aead - overhaul memory management")
