3.16.7-ckt22 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: David Gstir <david@sigma-star.at>

commit 79960943fdc114fd4583c9ab164b5c89da7aa601 upstream.

Using non-constant time memcmp() makes the verification of the authentication
tag in the decrypt path vulnerable to timing attacks. Fix this by using
crypto_memneq() instead.
