In preparation for FORTIFY_SOURCE performing compile-time and run-time
field bounds checking for memset(), avoid intentionally writing across
neighboring fields.

Add a struct_group() for the algs so that memset() can correctly reason
about the size.

Using struct_group() introduces complexity. Has it been considered not to modify struct p_rs_param_95 and instead to use two memset() calls instead of one (one memset() call per member)?

Thanks,

Bart.
