The legacy client tracking infrastructure of nfsd makes use of MD5 to
derive a client's recovery directory name. As the nfsd module doesn't
declare any dependency on CRYPTO_MD5, though, it may fail to allocate
the hash if the kernel was compiled without it. As a result, generation
of client recovery directories will fail with the following error:

    NFSD: unable to generate recoverydir name

The dependency was removed as a seemingly redundant dependency back in
6aaa67b5f3b9 (NFSD: Remove redundant "select" clauses in fs/Kconfig
2008-02-11). But in fact, even then the MD5 module was pulled in only
when RPCSEC_GSS_KRB5 or RPCSEC_GSS_KRB5 was selected.

Fix the issue by adding back an explicit dependency on CRYPTO_MD5.

Just a quibble with your Fixes: tag.

At that time, selecting NFSv4 support did bring in CRYPTO, because
NFSv4 support always selected RPCSEC_GSS_KRB5.

It was a later commit that removed RPCSEC_GSS_KRB5:

df486a25900f ("NFS: Fix the selection of security flavours in Kconfig")
