Subject: dm crypt: mark key as invalid until properly loaded
From: Ondrej Kozina <okozina@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 265e9098bac02bc5e36cda21fdbad34cb5b2f48d upstream.
In crypt_set_key(), if a failure occurs while replacing the old key
(e.g. tfm->setkey() fails) the key must not have DM_CRYPT_KEY_VALID flag
set. Otherwise, the crypto layer would have an invalid key that still
has DM_CRYPT_KEY_VALID flag set.
