acomp_do_req_chain is just interim scaffolding.  It will disappear
once we convert the underlying algorithms to acomp and support
chaining natively.  For example, the ahash version looked like this:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/6fc95eb867115e898fb6cca4a9470d147a5587bd.1730021644.git.herbert@gondor.apana.org.au/

Its final form, the user will supply a chained request that goes
directly to the algorithm which can then process it in one go.

Cheers,
