What about adding a setauthsize to af_alg_type that is called from the parent
setsockopt? I would like to keep all user space interfaces as close together
as possible. With a new setsockopt callback, I fear that user space interface
handling may be scattered around.

Currently I am simply thinking about the following:

partent setsockopt:

case ALG_SET_AEAD_AUTHSIZE:
if (sock->state == SS_CONNECTED)
goto unlock;
if (!type->setauthsize)
goto unlock;
err = type->setauthsize(ask->private, optlen);

af_alg_type:

int (*setauthsize)(void *private, unsigned int authsize);
