When kmalloc() fails, tmp_tfm allocated by
crypto_alloc_shash() has not been freed, which
leads to memleak.

Fixes: d46eb3699502b ("evm: crypto hash replaced by shash")

There's no need to check for NULL before calling crypto_free_shash().

I find there is a crypto_shash_tfm() in the definition of 
crypto_free_shash(). Will this lead to null pointer dereference
when we use it to free a NULL pointer?

No.  It does &tfm->base, not tfm->base.

Thank you for your advice! I will resend a new patch soon.
