When working on crypto algorithms, being able to run tcrypt quickly without booting an entire Linux installation can be very useful. For instance, QEMU/kvm can be used to boot a kernel from the command line, and having tcrypt.ko builtin would allow tcrypt to be executed to run benchmarks, or to run tests for algortithms that need to be instantiated from templates, without the need to make it past the point where the rootfs is mounted. So let's relax the requirement that tcrypt can only be built as a module when CRYPTO_MANAGER_EXTRA_TESTS is enabled, as this is already documented as a crypto development-only symbol.
