Eric Biggers dc410d2d84 crypto: hash - set CRYPTO_TFM_NEED_KEY if ->setkey() fails ...

commit ba7d7433a0 upstream.

Some algorithms have a ->setkey() method that is not atomic, in the
sense that setting a key can fail after changes were already made to the
tfm context.  In this case, if a key was already set the tfm can end up
in a state that corresponds to neither the old key nor the new key.

It's not feasible to make all ->setkey() methods atomic, especially ones
that have to key multiple sub-tfms.  Therefore, make the crypto API set
CRYPTO_TFM_NEED_KEY if ->setkey() fails and the algorithm requires a
key, to prevent the tfm from being used until a new key is set.

Note: we can't set CRYPTO_TFM_NEED_KEY for OPTIONAL_KEY algorithms, so
->setkey() for those must nevertheless be atomic.  That's fine for now
since only the crc32 and crc32c algorithms set OPTIONAL_KEY, and it's
not intended that OPTIONAL_KEY be used much.

[Cc stable mainly because when introducing the NEED_KEY flag I changed
 AF_ALG to rely on it; and unlike in-kernel crypto API users, AF_ALG
 previously didn't have this problem.  So these "incompletely keyed"
 states became theoretically accessible via AF_ALG -- though, the
 opportunities for causing real mischief seem pretty limited.]
