commit 203f45003a3d03eea8fa28d74cfc74c354416fdb upstream.
queue_cache_init is first called for the Control Word Queue (n2_crypto_probe). At that time, queue_cache[0] is NULL and a new kmem_cache will be allocated. If the subsequent n2_register_algs call fails, the kmem_cache will be released in queue_cache_destroy, but queue_cache_init[0] is not set back to NULL.
So when the Module Arithmetic Unit gets probed next (n2_mau_probe), queue_cache_init will not allocate a kmem_cache again, but leave it as its bogus value, causing a BUG() to trigger when queue_cache[0] is eventually passed to kmem_cache_zalloc:
