Subject: [PATCH] crypto: testmgr - add guard to dst buffer for ahash_export

Add a guard to 'state' buffer and warn if its consistency after
call to crypto_ahash_export() changes, so that any write that
goes beyond advertised statesize (and thus causing potential
memory corruption [1]) is more visible.
