Subject: crypto: api - Clear CRYPTO_ALG_DEAD bit before registering an alg
From: Salvatore Benedetto <salvatore.benedetto@xxxxxxxxx>
commit d6040764adcb5cb6de1489422411d701c158bb69 upstream.
Make sure CRYPTO_ALG_DEAD bit is cleared before proceeding with
the algorithm registration. This fixes qat-dh registration when
driver is restarted
