[dm-devel] [PATCH 05/11] crypto alg: Introduce max blocksize and alignmask

In the quest to remove all stack VLA usage from the kernel[1], this
exposes the existing upper bound on crypto block sizes for VLA removal,
and introduces a new check for alignmask (current maximum in the kernel
is 63 from manual inspection of all cra_alignmask settings).
