[ Upstream commit 732e540953477083082e999ff553622c59cffd5f ]

Simplify the error handling in the XTS template's ->create() function by
taking advantage of crypto_drop_skcipher() now accepting (as a no-op) a
spawn that hasn't been grabbed yet.

Please don't backport this patch.  It's a cleanup (not a fix) that depends on
patches in 5.6, which you don't seem to be backporting.

For 5.6-4.19 I grabbed these to take:

	1a263ae60b04 ("gcc-10: avoid shadowing standard library 'free()' in crypto")

cleanly. I'll drop it as it's mostly to avoid silly gcc10 warnings, but
I just wanted to let you know the reason they ended up here.

Note, this comment applies to all stable trees as well as all the other
"simplify error handling in ->create()" patches.
I hope that I don't have to reply to every individual email.

You don't :)
