The original implementation of memcpy_sglist() was broken because it didn't handle scatterlists that describe exactly the same memory, which is a case that many callers rely on. The current implementation is broken too because it calls the skcipher_walk functions which can fail. It ignores any errors from those functions. Fix it by replacing it with a new implementation written from scratch. It always succeeds. It's also a bit faster, since it avoids the overhead of skcipher_walk. skcipher_walk includes a lot of functionality (such as alignmask handling) that's irrelevant here.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
