In the quest to remove all stack VLA usage from the kernel[1], this
uses the upper bounds on blocksize. Since this is always a cipher
blocksize, use the existing cipher max blocksize.

Ugh, please don't add these BUG_ONs.  Add them to the places where
the algorithm is created (if they aren't checking that already).

Thanks,

It's already being checked (cra_blocksize vs MAX_CIPHER_BLOCKSIZE) so
I was just adding the BUG_ON to catch "impossible" behavior. I'll
leave it out in the next revision.
