cryptd_skcipher_free() fails to free the struct skcipher_instance
allocated in cryptd_create_skcipher(), leading to a memory leak.  This
is detected by kmemleak on bootup on ARM64 platforms:

 unreferenced object 0xffff80003377b180 (size 1024):
   comm "cryptomgr_probe", pid 822, jiffies 4294894830 (age 52.760s)
   backtrace:

     cryptomgr_probe+0x5c/0x1e8
