This bug has already bee fixed upstream since 4.2. However, it
was fixed during the AEAD conversion so no fix was backported to
the older kernels.
When we do an RFC 4543 decryption, we will end up writing the
ICV beyond the end of the dst buffer. This should lead to a
crash but for some reason it was never noticed.
This patch fixes it by only writing back the ICV for encryption.
