Subject: crypto: af_alg - Fix socket double-free when accept fails

From: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

commit a383292c86663bbc31ac62cc0c04fc77504636a6 upstream.

When we fail an accept(2) call we will end up freeing the socket
twice, once due to the direct sk_free call and once again through
newsock.

This patch fixes this by removing the sk_free call.
