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.
