This needs to use the correct logic (crypto_alg_inherited_mask) to decide which
inherited flags to set in 'mask'.

This is still missing setting the flags correctly on the template instance being
constructed.  The flags need to be inherited from all "inner" algorithms:

	inst->alg.base.cra_flags = (streamcipher_alg->base.cra_flags |
				    blockcipher_alg->cra_flags |
				    hash_alg->base.cra_flags) &
				   CRYPTO_ALG_INHERITED_FLAGS;

If we don't do that, the template instance may allocate memory but not have
CRYPTO_ALG_ALLOCATES_MEMORY set.

And this is still missing setting the mask:

Can you please think logically about what you're trying to accomplish?

In particular, if someone requests an algorithm that doesn't allocate memory
(which is indicated by type=0, mask=CRYPTO_ALG_ALLOCATES_MEMORY), that request
needs to be honored.
