Some drivers have their own full or partial md4 implementation without
using crypto/md4.

Userspace code search indicates a few copies of hash_info.h
https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=HASH_ALGO_MD4&literal=1 without
need for MD4.

Preserve uapi hash algorithm indexes and array length, but rename the
MD4 enum.

Patch applied.  Thanks.

Does this patch break userspace?

Here's a thread regarding MD4 the last time its removal was attempted:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-crypto/20210818144617.110061-1-ardb@xxxxxxxxxx/

Please note that iwd does use MD4 hashes here:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/wireless/iwd.git/tree/src/eap-mschapv2.c#n165
