Subject: [PATCH 3.16 218/410] crypto: caam - fix endless loop when DECO
 acquire fails

3.16.57-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Horia Geantă <horia.geanta@....com>

commit 225ece3e7dad4cfc44cca38ce7a3a80f255ea8f1 upstream.

In case DECO0 cannot be acquired - i.e. run_descriptor_deco0() fails
with -ENODEV, caam_probe() enters an endless loop:

run_descriptor_deco0
	ret -ENODEV
	-> instantiate_rng
		-ENODEV, overwritten by -EAGAIN
		ret -EAGAIN
		-> caam_probe
			-EAGAIN results in endless loop

It turns out the error path in instantiate_rng() is incorrect,
the checks are done in the wrong order.

Fixes: 1005bccd7a4a6 ("crypto: caam - enable instantiation of all RNG4 state handles")
