From: Eric Biggers ebiggers@google.com
commit d76c68109f37cb85b243a1cf0f40313afd2bae68 upstream.
pcrypt is using the old way of freeing instances, where the ->free() method specified in the 'struct crypto_template' is passed a pointer to the 'struct crypto_instance'. But the crypto_instance is being kfree()'d directly, which is incorrect because the memory was actually allocated as an aead_instance, which contains the crypto_instance at a nonzero offset. Thus, the wrong pointer was being kfree()'d.
Fix it by switching to the new way to free aead_instance's where the ->free() method is specified in the aead_instance itself.
