I could store the indexes in an array and add ARRAY_SIZE of that array.

I set algo to HASH_ALGO__LAST to mark the ima_algo_array entries as
uninitialized. ima_alloc_tfm() uses ima_algo_array in the next loop.
Replacing kmalloc_array() with kcalloc() would cause algo to be set to
HASH_ALGO_MD4.

I could check tfm first, which ensures that also algo was initialized.
