Subject: [PATCH] crypto: octeontx2: fix NULL pointer dereference

CONFIG_DM_CRYPT is checked before registering ciphers, but not before
unregister. This could lead to a NULL pointer dereference during driver
release (in unregister) if CONFIG_DM_CRYPT is enabled.

...
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000008
...
Call trace:
 crypto_unregister_alg+0x68/0xfc
 crypto_unregister_skciphers+0x44/0x60
 otx2_cpt_crypto_exit+0x100/0x1a0
 otx2_cptvf_remove+0xf8/0x200
 pci_device_remove+0x3c/0xd4
 __device_release_driver+0x188/0x234
 device_release_driver+0x2c/0x4c
...

Added a CONFIG_DM_CRYPT check, similar to register, in unregister to
avoid this.
