Thanks for taking the time to review this patch.
crypto_alloc_test_larval() will return null if manager is disabled,
it will not return error pointers, IS_ERR should not be used to checking
return value, should we fix it? or use another solution?
It would be helpful if you could give some advice or fix the problem by yourself.
Thanks very much!

A NULL indicates success, why are you jumping to the error path?
Cheers,
