Subject: [PATCH net v2] esp: select CRYPTO_SEQIV when useful

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

CRYPTO_CTR no longer selects CRYPTO_SEQIV, which breaks IPsec for users
who need any of the algorithms that use seqiv.  These users now would
need to explicitly enable CRYPTO_SEQIV.

There doesn't seem to be a clear rule on what algorithms the IPsec
options (INET_ESP and INET6_ESP) actually select, as apparently none is
*always* required.  They currently select just a particular subset,
along with CRYPTO_ECHAINIV which is the other IV generator template.

As a compromise between too many and too few selections, select
CRYPTO_SEQIV if either CRYPTO_CTR or CRYPTO_CHACHA20POLY1305 is enabled.
These are the algorithms that can use seqiv for IPsec.  (Note: GCM and
CCM can too, but those both use CTR.)

Fixes: f23efcbcc523 ("crypto: ctr - no longer needs CRYPTO_SEQIV")
