** Description changed:

  Description from the commit: The ghash_update function passes a pointer
  to gf128mul_4k_lle which will be NULL if ghash_setkey is not called or
  if the most recent call to ghash_setkey failed to allocate memory.  This
  causes an oops.  Fix this up by returning an error code in the null
  case. This is trivially triggered from unprivileged userspace through
  the AF_ALG interface by simply writing to the socket without setting a
  key. The ghash_final function has a similar issue, but triggering it
  requires a memory allocation failure in ghash_setkey _after_ at least
  one successful call to ghash_update.
