However, kcalloc may return ZERO_SIZE_PTR, and with this, the latter sg_init_table will trigger the bug. Fix it be use ZERO_OF_NULL_PTR. This function was introduced with ' commit a596999b7ddf ("crypto: algif - change algif_skcipher to be asynchronous")', and has been removed with 'commit e870456d8e7c ("crypto: algif_skcipher - overhaul memory management")'.
