In the code for xts_crypt(), we check for the err value returned by skcipher_walk_virt() and return from the function if it is non zero. However, skcipher_walk_virt() can set walk.nbytes to 0, which would cause us to call kernel_fpu_begin(), and then skip the kernel_fpu_end() call. This patch checks for the walk.nbytes value instead, and returns if walk.nbytes is 0. This prevents us from calling kernel_fpu_begin() in the first place and also covers the case of having a non zero err value returned from skcipher_walk_virt().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
