#1333860 — [PATCH 4.3 173/200] crypto: algif_hash - Fix race condition in hash_check_key

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

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

From: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

commit ad46d7e33219218605ea619e32553daf4f346b9f upstream.

We need to lock the child socket in hash_check_key as otherwise
two simultaneous calls can cause the parent socket to be freed.
