3.16.7-ckt4 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai at suse.de>
commit b26bdde5bb27f3f900e25a95e33a0c476c8c2c48 upstream.
When loading encrypted-keys module, if the last check of
aes_get_sizes() in init_encrypted() fails, the driver just returns an
error without unregistering its key type. This results in the stale
entry in the list. In addition to memory leaks, this leads to a kernel
crash when registering a new key type later.
This patch fixes the problem by swapping the calls of aes_get_sizes()
and register_key_type(), and releasing resources properly at the error
paths.
