Subject: [PATCH 4.8 025/138] security/keys: make BIG_KEYS dependent on stdrng.

4.8-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Artem Savkov <asavkov@...hat.com>

commit 31e6ec4519c0fe0ee4a2f6ba3ab278e9506b9500 upstream.

Since BIG_KEYS can't be compiled as module it requires one of the "stdrng"
providers to be compiled into kernel. Otherwise big_key_crypto_init() fails
on crypto_alloc_rng step and next dereference of big_key_skcipher (e.g. in
big_key_preparse()) results in a NULL pointer dereference.

Fixes: 13100a72f40f5748a04017e0ab3df4cf27c809ef ('Security: Keys: Big keys stored encrypted')
