Subject: [PATCH] pstore: fix crypto dependencies without compression

Commit 58eb5b670747 ("pstore: fix crypto dependencies") fixed up the crypto
dependencies but missed the case when no compression is selected.

With CONFIG_PSTORE=y, CONFIG_PSTORE_COMPRESS=n and CONFIG_CRYPTO=m we see
the following link error:

fs/pstore/platform.o: In function `pstore_register':
(.text+0x1b1): undefined reference to `crypto_has_alg'
(.text+0x205): undefined reference to `crypto_alloc_base'
fs/pstore/platform.o: In function `pstore_unregister':
(.text+0x3b0): undefined reference to `crypto_destroy_tfm'

Fix this by selecting CONFIG_CRYPTO unconditionally.

Thanks, I wonder how I missed this one. Thanks for fixing it up.
It's a bit unfortunate that it now disallows the otherwise valid
CONFIG_PSTORE=y, CONFIG_PSTORE_COMPRESS=n
and CONFIG_CRYPTO=n configuration, though.

Could we do this by making the calls compile-time configured
in the pstore code instead? Please try the untested version
below.

Hi Arnd,

this seems to be the better fix, the link error goes away with this change.
Thanks for the suggestion, I will send an updated patch.
