Jean Delvare fd7f672710 crypto: crc32c - Fix crc32c soft dependency
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.)

* Used by the iSCSI driver, possibly others, and derived from the

* http://linux-iscsi.sourceforge.net.
*
* Following the example of lib/crc32, this function is intended to be

* own crc32c, but hopefully may be able to use this one are:
