3.16.70-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 251b7aea34ba3c4d4fdfa9447695642eb8b8b098 upstream. The memcpy()s in the PCBC implementation use walk->iv as both the source and destination, which has undefined behavior. These memcpy()'s are actually unneeded, because walk->iv is already used to hold the previous plaintext block XOR'd with the previous ciphertext block. Thus, walk->iv is already updated to its final value. So remove the broken and unnecessary memcpy()s.
