crypto: marvell/cesa - initialise struct mv_cesa_ahash_req
When a AF_ALG fd is accepted a second time (hence hash_accept() is used), hash_accept_parent() allocates a new private context using sock_kmalloc(). This context is uninitialised. After use of the new fd, we eventually end up with the kernel complaining: marvell-cesa f1090000.crypto: dma_pool_free cesa_padding, c0627770/0 (bad dma) where c0627770 is a random address. Poisoning the memory allocated by the above sock_kmalloc() produces kernel oopses within the marvell hash code, particularly the interrupt handling. The following simplfied call sequence occurs: hash_accept() crypto_ahash_export() marvell hash export function af_alg_accept() hash_accept_parent() <== allocates uninitialised struct hash_ctx crypto_ahash_import() marvell hash import function hash_ctx contains the struct mv_cesa_ahash_req in its req.__ctx member, and, as the marvell hash import function only partially initialises this structure, we end up with a lot of members which are left with whatever data was in memory prior to sock_kmalloc(). Add zero-initialisation of this structure.
