Subject: [PATCH 1/4] crypto: drbg - ensure most preferred type is FIPS health checked

drbg supports multiple types of drbg, and multiple parameters of
each. Health check sanity only checks one drbg of a single type. One
can enable all three types of drbg. And instead of checking the most
preferred algorithm (last one wins), it is currently checking first
one instead.

Update ifdef to ensure that healthcheck prefers HMAC, over HASH, over
CTR, last one wins, like all other code and functions.

Fixes: 541af946fe ("crypto: drbg - SP800-90A Deterministic Random Bit Generator")
