[PATCH] pstore: Set tfm to NULL on free_buf_for_compression.

From: Pi-Hsun Shih
Date: Mon May 20 2019 - 02:54:12 EST


Set tfm to NULL on free_buf_for_compression after crypto_free_comp.

This avoid a use-after-free when allocate_buf_for_compression and
free_buf_for_compression are called twice. Although
free_buf_for_compression freed the tfm, allocate_buf_for_compression
won't reinitialize the tfm since the tfm pointer is not NULL.

Fixes: 95047b0519c1 ("pstore: Refactor compression initialization")
