[PATCH] crypto: fix crypto_alloc_base() return value

[Akinobu Mita]

This patch makes crypto_alloc_base() return proper return value.

- If kzalloc() failure happens within __crypto_alloc_tfm(),
  crypto_alloc_base() returns NULL. But crypto_alloc_base()
  is supposed to return error code as pointer. So this patch
  makes it return -ENOMEM in that case.

- crypto_alloc_base() is suppose to return -EINTR, if it is
  interrupted by signal. But it may not return -EINTR.
