    crypto: skcipher - prevent using skciphers without setting key · f8d33fac

    Similar to what was done for the hash API, update the skcipher API to
    track whether each transform has been keyed, and reject
    encryption/decryption if a key is needed but one hasn't been set.
    
    This isn't as important as the equivalent fix for the hash API because
    symmetric ciphers almost always require a key (the "null cipher" is the
    only exception), so are unlikely to be used without one.  Still,
    tracking the key will prevent accidental unkeyed use.  algif_skcipher
    also had to track the key anyway, so the new flag replaces that and
    simplifies the algif_skcipher implementation.
