      crypto: authenc - Avoid using clobbered request pointer · a697690b

      Authenc works in two stages for encryption, it first encrypts and
      then computes an ICV.  The context memory of the request is used
      by both operations.  The problem is that when an asynchronous
      encryption completes, we will compute the ICV and then reread the
      context memory of the encryption to get the original request.
      
      It just happens that we have a buffer of 16 bytes in front of the
      request pointer, so ICVs of 16 bytes (such as SHA1) do not trigger
      the bug.  However, any attempt to uses a larger ICV instantly kills
      the machine when the first asynchronous encryption is completed.
      
      This patch fixes this by saving the request pointer before we start
      the ICV computation.
