crypto: x86/sha512 - load based on CPU features 

x86 optimized crypto modules built as modules rather than built-in
to the kernel end up as .ko files in the filesystem, e.g., in
/usr/lib/modules. If the filesystem itself is a module, these might
not be available when the crypto API is initialized, resulting in
the generic implementation being used (e.g., sha512_transform rather
than sha512_transform_avx2).

In one test case, CPU utilization in the sha512 function dropped
from 15.34% to 7.18% after forcing loading of the optimized module.

Add module aliases for this x86 optimized crypto module based on CPU
feature bits so udev gets a chance to load them later in the boot
process when the filesystems are all running.
