3.16.84-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Herbert Xu herbert@gondor.apana.org.au
commit 7db3b61b6bba4310f454588c2ca6faf2958ad79f upstream.
We need to check whether spawn->alg is NULL under lock as otherwise the algorithm could be removed from under us after we have checked it and found it to be non-NULL. This could cause us to remove the spawn from a non-existent list.
