A byte array.  Not a pointer to a byte array.

There's no pointer.

Explicit casts from 'void *' are unnecessary.

To re-iterate what I said on v6, the runtime alignment to a 16-byte boundary
should happen when translating the raw crypto_skcipher_ctx() into the pointer to
the aes_xts_ctx.  It should not happen when accessing each individual field in
the aes_xts_ctx.

Yet, this code is still doing runtime alignment when accessing each individual
field, as the second argument to aes_set_key_common() is 'void *raw_ctx' which
aes_set_key_common() runtime-aligns to crypto_aes_ctx.

We should keep everything consistent, which means making aes_set_key_common()
take a pointer to crypto_aes_ctx and not do the runtime alignment.
