This is the fix I think that will resolve the build issues.  The generic
crc-t10dif transform depends on the library function crc_t10dif_generic
in lib/crc-t10dif.c, so "depends on CRC_T10DIF" for CRYPTO_CRCT10DIF is
needed.

Now for CRC_T10DIF, we should use select CRYPTO_HASH, so it can try to
allocate a T10DIF transform if it is available.  If not, it will simply
use the crc_t10dif_generic function. Loading the
generic t10dif crypto transform is not mandatory for the library
function crc_t10dif. 

Thanks for catching the issues.
