defalias lisp-data-mode to emacs-lisp-mode not normal-mode

Although normal-mode was fine for e.g. Emacs 26.3 it wasn't for Emacs
25.1, where installing faceup resulted in infinite:

  File mode specification error: (error Lisp nesting exceeds ‘max-lisp-eval-depth’)
  Directory-local variables error: (error Lisp nesting exceeds ‘max-lisp-eval-depth’)
  File local-variables error: (error Lisp nesting exceeds ‘max-lisp-eval-depth’)
  ...

As wild ass guess, try emacs-lisp-mode instead.
