If 'chcr_alloc_shash()' a few lines above fails, 'base_hash' can be an
error pointer when we 'goto out'.
So checking for NULL here is not enough because it is likely that
'chcr_free_shash' will crash if we pass an error pointer.

Another solution, amybe safer, would be to instrument 'chcr_free_shash' or
'crypto_free_shash' to accept an error pointer and return immediatelly in
such a case.
