[PATCH v2 1/4] crypto: skcipher - Consolidate encrypt/decrypt sanity check

[Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>]

In preparation to adding additional sanity checks before running an
skcipher request, this consolidates the open-coded checks into a single
function. Instead of passing both req and tfm into the new check this
just returns the tfm on success and an ERR_PTR on failure, keeping things
as clean as possible.
