[PATCH] crypto: AF_ALG - wait for data at beginning of recvmsg

[Stephan Müller]

The wait for data is a non-atomic operation that can sleep and therefore
potentially release the socket lock. The release of the socket lock
allows another thread to modify the context data structure. The waiting
operation for new data therefore must be called at the beginning of
recvmsg. This prevents a race condition where checks of the members of
the context data structure are performed by recvmsg while there is a
potential for modification of these values.

For skcipher, ctx->used is used as an indicator whether to wait for new
data, because skcipher can operate on a subset of the overall data
to be processed.

In contrast, aead must check ctx->more which is a flag set by user space
indicating that all data has been sent. It is required for aead to wait
until all data intended to be send by the caller are received as
the authentication operation part of the aead cipher requires the
presence of the whole data.
