3.19.8-ckt18 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Herbert Xu <herbert at gondor.apana.org.au>

commit 1822793a523e5d5730b19cc21160ff1717421bc8 upstream.

We need to lock the child socket in skcipher_check_key as otherwise
two simultaneous calls can cause the parent socket to be freed.
