Subject: [PATCH v3 1/7] crypto: AF_ALG: add user space interface for AEAD

AEAD requires the following data in addition to normal symmetric
ciphers:

        * Associated authentication data of arbitrary length and
	  length

        * Authentication tag for decryption and length

        * Length of authentication tag for encryption

The memory structure for the data received by the kernel via sendmsg
must follow this structure:

	* Symmetric encryption input:  plaintext
	* Symmetric encryption output: ciphertext
	* AEAD encryption input:  assoc data || plaintext
	* AEAD encryption output: cipherntext || auth tag
	* Symmetric decryption input:  ciphertext
	* Symmetric decryption output: plaintext
	* AEAD decryption input:  assoc data || ciphertext || authtag
	* AEAD decryption output: plaintext

Therefore, in addition to submitting the data, AEAD requires that
the associated data length and the tag length must be communicated.
The plaintext/ciphertext length can be derived from the other two size
fields. Therefore,  This patch adds setting the associated data length
and tag length as part of the sendmsg communication.
