Subject: [PATCH v3 10/12] crypto: LLVMLinux: Remove VLAIS usage from libcrc32c.c

From: Jan-Simon Möller <dl9pf@....de>

Replaced the use of a Variable Length Array In Struct (VLAIS) with a C99
compliant equivalent. This patch allocates the appropriate amount of memory
using a char array using the SHASH_DESC_ON_STACK macro.

The new code can be compiled with both gcc and clang.
