crypto: skcipher - fix crash in virtual walk
The new skcipher walk API may crash in the following way. (Interestingly, the tcrypt boot time tests seem unaffected, while an explicit test using the module triggers it) Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000 ...

Since skcipher_walk_done() already deals with the case where walk->buffer == walk->page, it appears to be the intention that walk->buffer point to walk->page after skcipher_next_slow(), so ensure that is the case.
