Loading the module deadlocks since:
-local cbc(aes) implementation needs a fallback and
-crypto API tries to find one but the request_module() resolves back to
the same module
Fix this by changing the module alias for cbc(aes) and
using the NEED_FALLBACK flag when requesting for a fallback algorithm.
Fixes: 00b99ad2bac2 ("crypto: arm/aes-neonbs - Use generic cbc encryption path")
