This adds the module loading prefix "crypto-" to the template lookup
as well.

For example, attempting to load 'vfat(blowfish)' via AF_ALG now correctly
includes the "crypto-" prefix at every level, correctly rejecting "vfat":

	net-pf-38
	algif-hash
	crypto-vfat(blowfish)
	crypto-vfat(blowfish)-all
	crypto-vfat

That commit will break the user API again as ciphers like 'cbc(aes)'
won't work any more -- as the cbc module won't be loaded.
You're missing the MODULE_ALIAS_CRYPTO() annotaions for all the crypto
templates -- cbc, ctr, xts, hmac, ...


Regards,
Mathias
