[LTP] [PATCH v1] crypto/af_alg02: fixed read() being stuck

[Christian Amann]

On kernels < 4.14 (missing commit 2d97591ef43d) reading from
the request socket does not return and the testcase does not
finish.

This fix moves the logic to a child thread in order for the
parent to handle the timeout and report a message to the user.
