The only user of comp_alg_common was the crypto stats, and it was introduced by
a refactoring of the crypto stats (commit 0a742389bcc0, "crypto: acomp - Count
error stats differently"), so it seems appropriate to remove it for now.

If you could go through my patch and explain what other unused code related to
the crypto stats you might consider to be "infrastructure" that should not be
removed, that would be helpful.
