Herbert Xu 28f6f37abc crypto: af_alg - Set merge to zero early in af_alg_sendmsg
commit 9574b2330d upstream.

If an error causes af_alg_sendmsg to abort, ctx->merge may contain
a garbage value from the previous loop.  This may then trigger a
crash on the next entry into af_alg_sendmsg when it attempts to do
a merge that can't be done.

Fix this by setting ctx->merge to zero near the start of the loop.
