I don't think it makes sense for a module to have a soft dependency
on itself. This seems quite cyclic by nature and I can't see what
purpose it could serve.
OTOH libcrc32c calls crypto_alloc_shash("crc32c", 0, 0) so it pretty
much assumes that some incarnation of the "crc32c" hash algorithm has
been loaded. Therefore it makes sense to have the soft dependency
there (as crc-t10dif does.)

Commit 5d26a105b5 ("crypto: prefix module autoloading with "crypto-"")
changed the automatic module loading when requesting crypto algorithms
to prefix all module requests with "crypto-". This requires all crypto
modules to have a crypto specific module alias even if their file name
would otherwise match the requested crypto algorithm.
Even though commit 5d26a105b5 added those aliases for a vast amount of
modules, it was missing a few. Add the required MODULE_ALIAS_CRYPTO
annotations to those files to make them get loaded automatically, again.
This fixes, e.g., requesting 'ecb(blowfish-generic)', which used to work
with kernels v3.18 and below.
Also change MODULE_ALIAS() lines to MODULE_ALIAS_CRYPTO(). The former
won't work for crypto modules any more.

This prefixes all crypto module loading with "crypto-" so we never run
the risk of exposing module auto-loading to userspace via a crypto API,
as demonstrated by Mathias Krause:

We added the soft module dependency of crc32c module alias
to generic crc32c module so other hardware accelerated crc32c
modules could get loaded and used before the generic version.
We also renamed the crypto/crc32c.c containing the generic
crc32c crypto computation to crypto/crc32c_generic.c according
to convention.
