Here is a simple solution which just hard codes the upper limit to 256 bits.
As all callers are only internal to the ap bus code and do obey to this limit
this shouldn't be a real limitation.

However, a version which really allocates will follow and then I'll discuss
with Martin, which version to post upstream.

Subject: [PATCH] s390/zcrypt: remove VLA use in ap bus code

The internal function to parse sysfs arguments uses VLAs -
dynamic bitmap arrays on the stack where the size is determined
by a invocation argument.

Reworked the code to have fixed sizes and check, if the caller
comply to this limit. However, one code path uses two of these
bitmap arrays and thus has a stack footprint of 64 bytes.
