crypto: af_alg - Allow arbitrarily long algorithm names

This patch removes the hard-coded 64-byte limit on the length of the algorithm name through bind(2). The address length can now exceed that. The user-space structure remains unchanged. In order to use a longer name simply extend the salg_name array beyond its defined 64 bytes length. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <[email protected]>
