crypto: caam - fix gfp allocation flags (part I)
commit 42cfcafb upstream. Changes in the SW cts (ciphertext stealing) code in commit 0605c41c ("crypto: cts - Convert to skcipher") revealed a problem in the CAAM driver: when cts(cbc(aes)) is executed and cts runs in SW, cbc(aes) is offloaded in CAAM; cts encrypts the last block in atomic context and CAAM incorrectly decides to use GFP_KERNEL for memory allocation. Fix this by allowing GFP_KERNEL (sleeping) only when MAY_SLEEP flag is set, i.e. remove MAY_BACKLOG flag. We split the fix in two parts - first is sent to -stable, while the second is not (since there is no known failure case).
