Even if FS encryption has strict functional dependencies on various
crypto algorithms and chaining modes. those dependencies could potentially
be satisified by other implementations than the generic ones, and no link
time dependency exists on the 'depends on' claused defined by
CONFIG_FS_ENCRYPTION_ALGS.

So let's relax these clauses to 'imply', so that the default behavior
is still to pull in those generic algorithms, but in a way that permits
them to be disabled again in Kconfig.

Herbert, is there still time for you to take these two patches through the
crypto tree for 5.13?  There aren't any other fscrypt or fsverity patches for
5.13, so that would be easiest for me.
