Up to now, 'crypto_alloc_shash()' may return a valid pointer, an error pointer or NULL (in case of invalid parameter) Update it to always return an error pointer in case of error. It now returns ERR_PTR(-EINVAL) instead of NULL in case of invalid parameter. This simplifies error handling. Also fix a crash in 'chcr_authenc_setkey()' if 'chcr_alloc_shash()' returns an error pointer and the "goto out" path is taken.
