pcrypt is using the old way of freeing instances, where the ->free()
method specified in the 'struct crypto_template' is passed a pointer to
the 'struct crypto_instance'. But the crypto_instance is being
kfree()'d directly, which is incorrect because the memory was actually
allocated as an aead_instance, which contains the crypto_instance at a
nonzero offset. Thus, the wrong pointer was being kfree()'d.
Fix it by switching to the new way to free aead_instance's where the
->free() method is specified in the aead_instance itself.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
