This bisection doesn't make much sense as this patch just causes
cryptd to be used a little more more frequently. But it does
point the finger at cryptd.

So we have list corruption here, possibly caused by use-after-free.
I did spot one bug in the AEAD cryptd path where we end up using
the wrong tfm to track refcnt.
Does this patch help?

Subject: crypto: cryptd - Use correct tfm object for AEAD tracking
The AEAD code path incorrectly uses the child tfm to track the
cryptd refcnt, and then potentially frees the child tfm.
