crypto: af_alg - wait for data at beginning of recvmsg
The wait for data is a non-atomic operation that can sleep and therefore potentially release the socket lock. The release of the socket lock allows another thread to modify the context data structure. The waiting operation for new data therefore must be called at the beginning of recvmsg. This prevents a race condition where checks of the members of the context data structure are performed by recvmsg while there is a potential for modification of these values.
