That logic is a no-go because the cryptopts= kernel boot argument might
require askpass and the hook can't foresee whether that will be used or
not.  A safe approach is to add a hook option to *opt-out* from
`askpass` (and `cryptroot-unlock` which is useless without askpass)
inclusion and save these meager kiB.
