From: Pi-Hsun Shih <pihsun@xxxxxxxxxxxx> commit a9fb94a99bb515d8720ba8440ce3aba84aec80f8 upstream. Set tfm to NULL on free_buf_for_compression() after crypto_free_comp(). This avoid a use-after-free when allocate_buf_for_compression() and free_buf_for_compression() are called twice. Although free_buf_for_compression() freed the tfm, allocate_buf_for_compression() won't reinitialize the tfm since the tfm pointer is not NULL.
