What should happen with this? Can this be ignored? Or should this be
fixed like

  			rc = skcipher_walk_done(walk, nbytes - k);
			if (rc) {
				if (locked)
					mutex_unlock(&ctrblk_lock);
 				goto out;
			}

before the conversion?

Even though I said I don't want to fix pre-existing issues, I broke a
similar code path with the first patch, so...
