As it is, I can instantiate pcrypt if the priority of pcrypt is lower
than the priority of the underlying algorithm. If I do the priority
check in crypto_alg_tested() the other way arround, I get it to work if
pcrypt has a higher priority than the underlying algorithm. So I guess
we need the patch below, right? If so, I would send a signed-off patch.
