Subject: [GIT PULL] VLA removal leftovers for v4.19-rc1

Hi Linus,

Please pull these two VLA removals for v4.19-rc1. It didn't seem
sensible to me to wait to add these: they're both trivial and have been
sitting in -next while I tried to get them picked up by their respective
maintainers. Instead, I can just be that maintainer. :) After these,
only some core crypto VLA removals remain, as the series that fixes them
is still under review.

Thanks!

-Kees
