This patch should fix the regression:

---8<---
Some user-space programs rely on crypto requests that have no
control metadata. This broke when a check was added to require
the presence of control metadata with the ctx->init flag.

This patch fixes the regression by removing the ctx->init flag.

This means that we do not distinguish the case of no metadata
as opposed to an empty request. IOW it is always assumed that
if you call recv(2) before sending metadata that you are working
with an empty request.
