I'm happy to massage the commit message and apply the fix to net.
But is it actually 100% correct to do that? IOW is calling
crypto_ahash_alignmask() already not necessary in net-next or does
it only become unnecessary after some prep work in crypto-next?

We can tell Linus to squash this fix into the merge of either
crypto-next or net-next, I'm pretty sure he'd be okay with that..
