[SRU][J/N/P][PATCH 1/2] crypto: af_alg - Disallow concurrent writes in af_alg_sendmsg

From: Herbert Xu <herbert at gondor.apana.org.au>
Issuing two writes to the same af_alg socket is bogus as the
data will be interleaved in an unpredictable fashion. Furthermore,
concurrent writes may create inconsistencies in the internal
socket state.
Disallow this by adding a new ctx->write field that indiciates
exclusive ownership for writing.
Fixes: 8ff590903d5 ("crypto: algif_skcipher - User-space interface for skcipher operations")
