IB/rxe: don't crash, if allocation of crc algorithm failed
Following crash happens, if crc algorithm couldn't be allocated: [ 1087.989072] rdma_rxe: loaded [ 1097.855397] PCLMULQDQ-NI instructions are not detected. [ 1097.901220] rdma_rxe: failed to allocate crc algorithmi err:-2 [ 1097.901248] BUG: unable to handle kernel [ 1097.901249] NULL pointer dereference [ 1097.901250] at 0000000000000046 [...] Reason is that rxe->tfm is assigned the error return, which will then be used for crypto_free_shash() in rxe_cleanup. Fix by using a temporary variable and assigning it rxe->tfm after allocation succeeded.
