Subject: [PATCH -resend with CC] crypto: algif_hash, avoid zero-sized array

With this reproducer:
  struct sockaddr_alg alg = {
          .salg_family = 0x26,
          .salg_type = "hash",
          .salg_feat = 0xf,
          .salg_mask = 0x5,
          .salg_name = "digest_null",
  };
  int sock, sock2;

  sock = socket(AF_ALG, SOCK_SEQPACKET, 0);
  bind(sock, (struct sockaddr *)&alg, sizeof(alg));
  sock2 = accept(sock, NULL, NULL);
  setsockopt(sock, SOL_ALG, ALG_SET_KEY, "\x9b\xca", 2);
  accept(sock2, NULL, NULL);

==== 8< ======== 8< ======== 8< ======== 8< ====

one can immediatelly see an UBSAN warning:
UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in crypto/algif_hash.c:187:7
variable length array bound value 0 <= 0

It is a correct warning, as hash state is propagated to accept as zero,
but creating a zero-length variable array is not allowed in C.

Fix this as proposed by Herbert -- do "?: 1" on that site. No sizeof or
similar happens in the code there, so we just allocate one byte even
though we do not use the array.
