A few things:

The crypto _ON_STACK declarations cannot have a $Storage type.

There should be a \s* between the ON_STACK and the open parenthesis

There are other _ON_STACK types than the crypto uses

$ grep -rP --include=*.[ch] -oh "\b[A-Z_]+_ON_STACK\b" * | \
sort | uniq -c | sort -rn
68 SKCIPHER_REQUEST_ON_STACK
45 SHASH_DESC_ON_STACK
10 AHASH_REQUEST_ON_STACK
4 PC_LOC_ON_STACK
4 DECLARE_DPM_WATCHDOG_ON_STACK
3 HISI_SAS_DECLARE_RST_WORK_ON_STACK
3 CONFIG_ARCH_TASK_STRUCT_ON_STACK
1 PT_SIZE_ON_STACK
1 ALLOC_PT_GPREGS_ON_STACK

So perhaps:

(?:SKCIPHER_REQUEST|SHASH_DESC|AHASH_REQUEST)_ON_STACK\s*\(
