[PATCH 5.6 163/254] crypto: rng - Fix a refcounting bug in crypto_rng_reset()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit eed74b3eba9eda36d155c11a12b2b4b50c67c1d8 upstream.

We need to decrement this refcounter on these error paths.

Fixes: f7d76e05d058 ("crypto: user - fix use_after_free of struct xxx_request")
