crypto: api - Fix race condition in crypto_spawn_alg

Browse Source 
The function crypto_spawn_alg is racy because it drops the lock
before shooting the dying algorithm.  The algorithm could disappear
altogether before we shoot it.

This patch fixes it by moving the shooting into the locked section.
