[SRU][Artful][Bionic][PATCH 0/1] crypto: vmx - Use skcipher for ctr fallback

[Joseph Salisbury]

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1732978

== SRU Justification ==
Artful uses the 4.13 kernel which has an issue with the fallback cipher for 
CTR mode. Commit e666d4e9ceec fixes this problem by using a new structure 
for the generic ciphers.

This commit is also needed in Bionic until it gets rebased to 4.15.

Commit e666d4e9ceec was added to mainline in v4.15-rc2

== Fix ==
commit e666d4e9ceec94c0a88c94b7db31d56474da43b3

    crypto: vmx - Use skcipher for ctr fallback

== Regression Potential ==
This commit is specific to crypto, and adds a new structure for the generic ciphers. 

== Test Case ==
A test kernel was built with this patch and tested by the original bug reporter.
The bug reporter states the test kernel resolved the bug.
