Sorry for the confusion.  Please just revert my patch.

I was trying to figure out what was causing various crypto modules
to be built-in in my test config and this was the latest change that
*looked* as if it might have caused my problem.  Obviously I didn't
test it properly after making that change.

It should just be reverted because if ext4 was built-in then you
do want to have the crypto stuff built-in just in case the root fs
was encrypted.

Cheers,
