I think the culprit is the lock_sock in af_alg_async_cb. When going through 
the code protected by the lock, I actually do not see that the struct sock is 
actually accessed in any way other than with an atomic operation. Thus, I 
would infer that lock/unlock in af_alg_async_cb could be safely removed.

Would you agree, Herbert?
