[PATCH] crypto: tstmgr - guard xxhash tests

[Hamza Mahfooz]

If the kernel isn't built with CONFIG_CRYPTO_XXHASH and booted with FIPS
mode enabled it will currently panic. So, only benchmark xxhash64 if
CRYPTO_XXHASH is enabled.

Please show me the panic.  Normally it's not an issue if an algorithm
is not present while the test vectors are.

Thanks,

Seems like crypto_alg_mod_lookup() [1] fails and that triggers the panic() at [2].
