[PATCH v2 6/6] net-PPP: Delete another unnecessary assignment in mppe_alloc()

The data structure element "sha1" was assigned a null pointer by the
mppe_alloc() after a function call "crypto_alloc_hash" failed.
It was determined that this element was not accessed by the implementation
of the crypto_free_blkcipher() function.

Let us delete it from the affected implementation because the element "sha1"
will not be accessible outside the function after the detected
allocation failure.
