crypto: algapi - add NEED_FALLBACK to INHERITED_FLAGS
CRYPTO_ALG_NEED_FALLBACK is handled inconsistently. When it's requested to be clear, some templates propagate that request to child algorithms, while others don't. It's apparently desired for NEED_FALLBACK to be propagated, to avoid deadlocks where a module tries to load itself while it's being initialized, and to avoid unnecessarily complex fallback chains where we have e.g. cbc-aes-$driver falling back to cbc(aes-$driver) where aes-$driver itself falls back to aes-generic, instead of cbc-aes-$driver simply falling back to cbc(aes-generic). There have been a number of fixes to this effect: commit89027579bc
("crypto: xts - Propagate NEED_FALLBACK bit") commitd2c2a85cfe
("crypto: ctr - Propagate NEED_FALLBACK bit") commite6c2e65c70
("crypto: cbc - Propagate NEED_FALLBACK bit") But it seems that other templates can have the same problems too. To avoid this whack-a-mole, just add NEED_FALLBACK to INHERITED_FLAGS so that it's always inherited.
