Subject[patch 62/87] crypto: api - Fix algorithm module auto-loading
2.6.29-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

commit 37fc334cc8eb84f5fe0a5a1cbe6a6a68049e142a upstream.

The commit a760a6656e6f00bb0144a42a048cf0266646e22c (crypto:
api - Fix module load deadlock with fallback algorithms) broke
the auto-loading of algorithms that require fallbacks. The
problem is that the fallback mask check is missing an and which
cauess bits that should be considered to interfere with the
result.
