[PATCH] net: tls: fix a memory leak bug

From: Wenwen Wang
Date: Wed Apr 24 2019 - 16:18:23 EST


In decrypt_internal(), a memory block 'mem' is allocated through kmalloc()
to hold aead_req, sgin[], sgout[], aad, and iv. This memory block should be
freed after it is used, before this function is returned. However, if the
return value of the function invocation of tls_do_decryption() is
-EINPROGRESS, this memory block is actually not freed, which is a memory
leak bug.

To fix this issue, free the allocated block before the error code
-EINPROGRESS is returned.
