4.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Herbert Xu <herb...@gondor.apana.org.au>
commit 89027579bc6c2febbcc9c2f9d5069adf71539e4b upstream.
When we're used as a fallback algorithm, we should propagate
the NEED_FALLBACK bit when searching for the underlying ECB mode.
This just happens to fix a hang too because otherwise the search
may end up loading the same module that triggered this XTS creation.
Fixes: f1c131b45410 ("crypto: xts - Convert to skcipher")
