I think this patch is on the wrong track.  The stack requests are
only ever meant to be used for synchronous algorithms (IOW shash
algorithms) and were a quick-and-dirty fix for legacy users.

So either check SHASH_MAX_REQSIZE or just convert the users to
kmalloc or even better make them real async users.
