#1333608 — [PATCH 4.3 006/200] crypto: nx - Fix timing leak in GCM and CCM decryption

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

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

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

commit cb8affb55c7e64816f3effcd9b2fc3268c016fac 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.
