crypto: af_alg - Set merge to zero early in af_alg_sendmsg
commit 9574b2330dbd2b5459b74d3b5e9619d39299fc6f upstream. If an error causes af_alg_sendmsg to abort, ctx->merge may contain a garbage value from the previous loop. This may then trigger a crash on the next entry into af_alg_sendmsg when it attempts to do a merge that can't be done. Fix this by setting ctx->merge to zero near the start of the loop.
