crypto: algif_skcipher - rewind rounded output bytes
af_alg_get_rsgl() advances the receive iterator by the unrounded RX scatterlist length. For a continuing skcipher request, _skcipher_recvmsg() then rounds its local length down to a whole chunksize without restoring the iterator. A later chunk starts after bytes which the provider never wrote, while the syscall returns only the processed length. When copy_splice_read() supplies non-zeroed pages and publishes that return as a dense prefix, the gap exposes stale bytes from a previous page lifetime. With unprivileged xts(aes), a 31-byte MSG_MORE request followed by one final byte advances a 47-byte destination while returning 32 bytes. A hardened v7.2-rc5 image retained all 15 seeded stale bytes in 4,829 of 4,829 records. With init_on_alloc enabled, all 72,345 gap bytes observed were zero. Rewind the iterator by the tail excluded during rounding, before rejecting a zero processed length. The crypto request uses only the rounded length; af_alg_free_resources() releases the entire RX list before another receive iteration. The fixed target-like kernel returned byte-identical dense 48-byte output in 4,771 of 4,771 rounds. The unmodified kernel returned the vulnerable 32-byte short record in 2,409 of 2,409 rounds.
