[ Upstream commit dc89997264 ]
Always use crypto_has_comp() so that crypto can lookup module, call
usermodhelper to load the modules, wait for usermodhelper to finish and so
on. Otherwise crypto will do all of these steps under CPU hot-plug lock
and this looks like too much stuff to handle under the CPU hot-plug lock.
Besides this can end up in a deadlock when usermodhelper triggers a code
path that attempts to lock the CPU hot-plug lock, that zram already holds.
An example of such deadlock:
- path A. zram grabs CPU hot-plug lock, execs /sbin/modprobe from crypto
and waits for modprobe to finish

- path B. async work kthread that brings in scsi device. It wants to
register CPUHP states at some point, and it needs the CPU hot-plug
lock for that, which is owned by zram.
