crypto: skcipher - Avoid infinite loop when cipher fails selftest

When an skcipher constructed through crypto_givcipher_default fails
its selftest, we'll loop forever trying to construct new skcipher
objects but failing because it already exists.

The crux of the issue is that once a givcipher fails the selftest,
we'll ignore it on the next run through crypto_skcipher_lookup and
attempt to construct a new givcipher.

We should instead return an error to the caller if we find a
givcipher that has failed the test.
