crypto: algif_skcipher - rewind rounded output bytes

af_alg_get_rsgl() advances the receive iterator by the unrounded RX
scatterlist length.  For a continuing skcipher request,
_skcipher_recvmsg() then rounds its local length down to a whole chunksize
without restoring the iterator.

A later chunk starts after bytes which the provider never wrote, while the
syscall returns only the processed length.  When copy_splice_read()
supplies non-zeroed pages and publishes that return as a dense prefix, the
gap exposes stale bytes from a previous page lifetime.

With unprivileged xts(aes), a 31-byte MSG_MORE request followed by one
final byte advances a 47-byte destination while returning 32 bytes.  A
hardened v7.2-rc5 image retained all 15 seeded stale bytes in 4,829 of
4,829 records.  With init_on_alloc enabled, all 72,345 gap bytes observed
were zero.

Rewind the iterator by the tail excluded during rounding, before rejecting
a zero processed length.  The crypto request uses only the rounded length;
af_alg_free_resources() releases the entire RX list before another receive
iteration.

The fixed target-like kernel returned byte-identical dense 48-byte output
in 4,771 of 4,771 rounds.  The unmodified kernel returned the vulnerable
32-byte short record in 2,409 of 2,409 rounds.
