Subject: [PATCH 5.4 153/184] crypto: rng - fix crypto_rng_reset() refcounting when !CRYPTO_STATS

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@...gle.com>

commit 30d0f6a956fc74bb2e948398daf3278c6b08c7e9 upstream.

crypto_stats_get() is a no-op when the kernel is compiled without
CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS, so pairing it with crypto_alg_put() unconditionally
(as crypto_rng_reset() does) is wrong.

Fix this by moving the call to crypto_stats_get() to just before the
actual algorithm operation which might need it.  This makes it always
paired with crypto_stats_rng_seed().
