Public bug reported:

[Impact]
Current hisi_sec2 driver only allows 2 threads for accelerator but cpu stress 
test requires more then 50 threads. We have disabled hisi_sec2 temporarily for 
20.04.1. Hisilicon proposes a simple patch on upstream mailing list to enlarge 
the capability. 

[Fix]
https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-crypto@vger.kernel.org/msg43093.html

[Test]
$ lsmod | grep hisi_sec2 # make sure hisi_sec2 loaded
$ sudo stress-ng --aggressive --verify --timeout 330 --metrics-brief --tz 
--times --af-alg 0
$ echo $?

[Regression Potential]
This driver is only loaded on Hisilicon Hi1620 machines. Low risk for other 
platform.
