[PATCH 3.2 051/152] KEYS: Fix stale key registration at error path

From: Ben Hutchings <hidden>

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

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

From: Takashi Iwai <redacted>

commit b26bdde5bb27f3f900e25a95e33a0c476c8c2c48 upstream.

When loading encrypted-keys module, if the last check of
aes_get_sizes() in init_encrypted() fails, the driver just returns an
error without unregistering its key type.  This results in the stale
entry in the list.  In addition to memory leaks, this leads to a kernel
crash when registering a new key type later.

This patch fixes the problem by swapping the calls of aes_get_sizes()
and register_key_type(), and releasing resources properly at the error
paths.
