AFAIU, chcr_ktls_ofld_ctx_tx just misuses the extra space allocated by
tls_set_device_offload. There's no bug, but the code is a bit
confusing. I don't think this patch works, since chcr_ktls doesn't
allocate its own memory for chcr_ktls_ofld_ctx_tx.

As part of a series of cleanups that I'll submit soon (hopefully this
week), I updated chcr_ktls to use the driver_state part of
tls_offload_context_tx (instead of the cast in
chcr_get_ktls_tx_context), and then removed the flexarrays from
tls_offload_context_tx and tls_offload_context_rx (since they're
actually a fixed size).
