[PATCH] libceph: Remove obsolete session key alignment logic

From: Eric Biggers

Date: Sat Mar 14 2026 - 17:26:51 EST


Since the call to crypto_shash_setkey() was replaced with
hmac_sha256_preparekey() which doesn't allocate memory regardless of the
alignment of the input key, remove the session key alignment logic from
process_auth_done(). Also remove the inclusion of crypto/hash.h, which
is no longer needed since crypto_shash is no longer used.
