Revert "evm: Fix memleak in init_desc"
commit 51dd64bb99e4478fc5280171acd8e1b529eadaf7 upstream. This reverts commit ccf11dbaa07b328fa469415c362d33459c140a37. Commit ccf11dbaa07b ("evm: Fix memleak in init_desc") said there is memleak in init_desc. That may be incorrect, as we can see, tmp_tfm is saved in one of the two global variables hmac_tfm or evm_tfm[hash_algo], then if init_desc is called next time, there is no need to alloc tfm again, so in the error path of kmalloc desc or crypto_shash_init(desc), It is not a problem without freeing tmp_tfm. And also that commit did not reset the global variable to NULL after freeing tmp_tfm and this makes *tfm a dangling pointer which may cause a UAF issue.
