[PATCH v2 14/19] crypto/algapi.c: skip crypto_check_module_sig() for the standalone crypto module

[Jay Wang <wanjay@amazon.com>]

From: Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@oracle.com>

The signature check in regular module verification process
`crypto_check_module_sig()` is skipped for this standalone crypto module
because its signature has already been checked during load (as described
in later patch).
