In the quest to remove all stack VLA usage from the kernel[1], this uses
the maximum blocksize and adds a sanity check.

Similarly, why not MAX_CIPHER_BLOCKSIZE?

Also, xcbc_create() only allows a 16-byte block size, and you made the API
enforce the maximum for algorithms anyway.  So I think the extra check here
isn't very worthwhile.

Is the "parent" argument in crypto_xcbc_digest_setkey() always going
to be the "alg" from xcbc_create()? I couldn't convince myself that
was true. If it is, then yes, this VLA can trivially made to be 16,
but it seemed like they were separate instances...

Yes, it's guaranteed to be an instance of "xcbc" which was created by
xcbc_create(), so it will have 'cra_blocksize == 16'.

So until someone actually tests and enables support in the "xcbc" template for
other block sizes (if the XCBC specification allows them), it would also be fine
to just '#define XCBC_BLOCK_SIZE 16' at the top of the file and use that
everywhere that references the block size.
