Subject: [PATCH 4.14 06/22] crypto: vmac - require a block cipher with 128-bit block size

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@...gle.com>

commit 73bf20ef3df262026c3470241ae4ac8196943ffa upstream.

The VMAC template assumes the block cipher has a 128-bit block size, but
it failed to check for that.  Thus it was possible to instantiate it
using a 64-bit block size cipher, e.g. "vmac(cast5)", causing
uninitialized memory to be used.

Add the needed check when instantiating the template.
