Always yield to the scheduler at the end of skcipher_walk_done(), not just if additional bytes are left to be processed. This avoids soft lockups if drivers are invoked back-to-back to process data that is an integer multiple of their block size. Example: while processing 1 MiB buffers, multiple skciphers run from 192 s to 218 s without ever yielding to the scheduler, causing three soft lockup complaints. The kernel is configured for CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y (or preempt=none on the kernel command line), so only explicit cond_resched() calls trigger scheduling - might_resched() and preempt_enable() do not (see kernel/sched/core.c).
