crypto: ecc - Fix NULL pointer deref. on no default_rng
If crypto_get_default_rng returns an error, the function ecc_gen_privkey should return an error. Instead, it currently tries to use the default_rng nevertheless, thus creating a kernel panic with a NULL pointer dereference. Returning the error directly, as was supposedly intended when looking at the code, fixes this.
