[PATCH v3 11/12] crypto: atmel-sha204a - fix heap info leak on I2C transfer failure

[Lothar Rubusch]

When a non-blocking read operation is requested, the driver dynamically
allocates memory to track asynchronous transfer status. If the underlying
I2C transmission fails, atmel_sha204a_rng_done() logs a rate-limited
warning but incorrectly proceeds to cache the pointer to this uninitialized
buffer inside the rng->priv data field anyway.

On subsequent execution passes, atmel_sha204a_rng_read_nonblocking()
detects the stale rng->priv value, skips executing a hardware data read,
and copies up to 32 bytes of uninitialized kernel heap data from this
garbage memory pool straight back into the system's hwrng data stream.

Fix this information disclosure vector by immediately releasing the
allocated asynchronous work data buffer and explicitly clearing the
tracking pointer context whenever an I2C transaction returns a non-zero
error status.

Additionally, duplicate the tfm counter decrement within the new error
path to ensure the reference counter is properly released before executing
the early return, maintaining the driver's availability for subsequent
requests.
