#1388513 — [PATCH 3.16 217/217] crypto: gcm - Fix rfc4543 decryption crash

3.16.35-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

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

This bug has already bee fixed upstream since 4.2.  However, it
was fixed during the AEAD conversion so no fix was backported to
the older kernels.

[bwh: The upstream commit was adcbc688fe2f ("crypto: gcm - Convert to
new AEAD interface")]

When we do an RFC 4543 decryption, we will end up writing the
ICV beyond the end of the dst buffer.  This should lead to a
crash but for some reason it was never noticed.

This patch fixes it by only writing back the ICV for encryption.
