I'm getting a test failure with this series applied:

[    0.383128] alg: aead: failed to allocate transform for gcm_base(ctr(aes-generic),ghash-generic): -2
[    0.383500] alg: self-tests for gcm(aes) using gcm_base(ctr(aes-generic),ghash-generic) failed (rc=-2)

This is on x86_64 with CONFIG_CRYPTO_MANAGER_EXTRA_TESTS=y.
