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:
commit 89027579bc6c ("crypto: xts - Propagate NEED_FALLBACK bit")
commit d2c2a85cfe82 ("crypto: ctr - Propagate NEED_FALLBACK bit")
commit e6c2e65c70a6 ("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.
