 In the Linux kernel through 4.20.10, af_alg_release() in crypto/af_alg.c
 neglects to set a NULL value for a certain structure member, which leads to a
 use-after-free in sockfs_setattr.

Clean cherry pick back to Bionic (Xenial and older are not affected). I've
successfully tested the fix with the syzkaller reproducer under Bionic and
Cosmic.
