missing dependency - crypto.ko to zlib.ko

Hello all,

I upgraded my RELENG_6 server today and ran into a strange problem.  Whenever 
I try to kldload crypto.ko the operation fails and I get the following error 
in my dmesg:

  link_elf: symbol inflateInit2_ undefined

I was indirectly trying to load crypto because I had geom_eli.ko in my 
loader.conf.  I don't have any crypto hardware in the box.

I'm guessing this is related to this commit:

  http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/cvs-src/2006-March/060511.html

It appears that the MODULE_DEPEND macro was added to cryptodev.c, but not to 
crypto.c.

I tried adding MODULE_DEPEND to crypto.c and the problem went away.  I'm not 
that familiar with the module system, so perhaps there is something else 
wrong with my configuration and this is the wrong fix.  In any case, here is 
the patch:

Please let me know if there is a better way to fix this.  Any input would be 
appreciated.

Thanks.
