crypto: api - Fix race condition in larval lookup
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1016108 64z is missing rhel6 commit 3af031a395c0 ("[crypto] algboss: Hold ref count on larval") which is causing cosmetic fuzz, because crypto_alg_get was move from crypto/api.c to crypto/internal.h. From: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> [ upstream commit 77dbd7a95e4a4f15264c333a9e9ab97ee27dc2aa ] crypto_larval_lookup should only return a larval if it created one. Any larval created by another entity must be processed through crypto_larval_wait before being returned. Otherwise this will lead to a larval being killed twice, which will most likely lead to a crash.
