[PATCH v2] crypto/ansi prng: alloc cipher just in in init()

[Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <sebastian@breakpoint.cc>]

As reported by Eric Sesterhenn the re-allocation of the cipher in reset leads
to:
|BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/rwsem.c:21

because a spin lock is held and crypto_alloc_base() may sleep.
There is no reason to re-allocate the cipher, the state is resetted in
->setkey(). This patches makes the cipher allocation a one time thing and
moves it to init.

v2: - remove crypto_free_cipher() from reset
    - don'r return 0 in error case in reset
v1: initial shot

Neil, what about that one? Setting tfm to NULL and grabbing the return
code earler would make the patch a little longer.
