Subject: crypto: algif_skcipher - Add key check exception for cipher_null
From: Herbert Xu <herbert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 6e8d8ecf438792ecf7a3207488fb4eebc4edb040 upstream.
This patch adds an exception to the key check so that cipher_null
users may continue to use algif_skcipher without setting a key.
