modprobe can be made to fail by using the --first-time option:
# modprobe loop
# modprobe --first-time loop-aes || echo $?
FATAL: Module loop already in kernel.

I think the current code is already smart enough that it will not try
setting up crypto support more than once. If that is the case that we can
probably just:
if ! modprobe --first-time loop-aes; then
# umount loop-mounted devices
modprobe -r loop
modprobe --first-time loop-aes
# remount loop-mounted devices
