[PATCH] ecryptfs: initialize new auth_tokens before teardown

From: Eric Sandeen
Date: Tue Dec 11 2007 - 18:53:23 EST


ecryptfs_destroy_mount_crypt_stat() checks whether each
auth_tok->global_auth_tok_key is nonzero and if so puts that
key. However, in some early mount error paths nothing has initialized
the pointer, and we try to key_put() garbage. Running the bad cipher
tests in the testsuite exposes this, and it's happy with the following
change.
