There's a small memory leak in arch/x86/crypto/aesni-intel_glue.c::rfc4106_set_hash_subkey(). If the call to kmalloc() fails and returns NULL then the memory allocated previously by ablkcipher_request_alloc() is not freed when we leave the function. I could have just added a call to ablkcipher_request_free() before we return -ENOMEM, but that started to look too much like the code we already had at the end of the function, so I chose instead to rework the code a bit so that there are now a few labels at the end that we goto when various allocations fail, so we don't have to repeat the same blocks of code (this also reduces the object code size slightly). Please review and consider merging.
