#61224 — crypto-vmx fails to load fallbacks (missing dep?)

If crypto-vmx gets built-in (which the latest debian kernel configs in
git do, at least when you build them against 4.17.2) but you don't
build-in ghash/cbc/ctr/etc, you end up with dmesg lines like:

[    3.704126] Failed to allocate transformation for 'cbc(aes)': -2
[    3.704172] alg: skcipher: Failed to load transform for p8_aes_cbc: -2
[    3.706542] Failed to allocate transformation for 'ctr(aes)': -2
[    3.706605] alg: skcipher: Failed to load transform for p8_aes_ctr: -2
[    3.714095] Failed to allocate transformation for 'ghash-generic': -2
[    3.714162] alg: hash: Failed to load transform for p8_ghash: -2

(which I assume are a failure to load the fallback driver) and as a
result are never able to use aes-cbc/aes-ctr/ghash as crypto_alg_lookup
will fail the crypto_is_larval check and return ELIBBAD. When they're
all built-in everything seems to work fine.
