crypto: iaa - Fix out-of-bounds index in find_empty_iaa_compression_mode
The local variable 'i' is initialized with -EINVAL, but the for loop
immediately overwrites it and -EINVAL is never returned.
If no empty compression mode can be found, the function would return the
out-of-bounds index IAA_COMP_MODES_MAX, which would cause an invalid

Fix both issues by returning either a valid…
