After the change titled "Btrfs: add support for inode properties", if
btrfs was built-in the kernel (i.e. not as a module), it would cause a
kernel panic, as reported recently by Fengguang:

The issue here is that the initialization function of btrfs (super.c:init_btrfs_fs)
started using crc32c (from lib/libcrc32c.c). But when it needs to call crc32c (as
part of the properties initialization routine), the libcrc32c is not yet initialized,
so crc32c derreferenced a NULL pointer (lib/libcrc32c.c:tfm), causing the kernel
panic on boot.
The approach to fix this is to use crypto component directly to use its crc32c (which
is basically what lib/libcrc32c.c is, a wrapper around crypto). This is what ext4 is
doing as well, it uses crypto directly to get crc32c functionality.
Verified this works both when btrfs is built-in and when it's loadable kernel module.
