[PATCH] crypto: virtio/akcipher - Move a pointer assignment in virtio_crypto_rsa_set_key()

[Markus Elfring]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Sat, 12 Oct 2024 09:51:58 +0200

Move the reset of the data structure member “n” to a null pointer
into an if branch so that this assignment will be performed only after
a key parsing failure.
