[PATCH V2 1/2] Remove VLAIS usage from crypto/hmac.c

[Behan Webster]

From: Jan-Simon Möller <dl9pf@gmx.de>

The use of variable length arrays in structs (VLAIS) in the Linux Kernel code
precludes the use of compilers which don't implement VLAIS (for instance the
Clang compiler). This patch instead allocates the appropriate amount of memory
using an char array.
