crypto: fips - Depend on ansi_cprng
What about something like this? It defaults the CPRNG to m and makes FIPS
dependent on the CPRNG. That way you get a module build by default, but you can
change it to y manually during config and still satisfy the dependency, and if
you select N it disables FIPS as well. I rather like that better than making
FIPS a tristate. I just tested it out here and it seems to work well. Let me
know what you think
