The current code sets up a structure with xfrm_algo embedded in it, but
doesn't use the supplemental key field.  Drop it.

note: i don't have a system where this code runs (probably missing options in
my kernel).  i checked xfrm_aead_print a bit but couldn't quite figure it out.
it doesn't seem like it needs that trailing space.

It's for the storage of the zero length array at the end of
xfrm_algo.

Don't change code you don't understand.

ok, so we can use alloca instead

time.
