This could just use PTR_ALIGN.  Also, checking for POLYVAL_ALIGN <=
crypto_tfm_ctx_alignment() isn't necessary.

This is being passed a struct polyval_tfm_ctx.  There's no need to cast it back
to a void pointer and align it again redundantly.

It would make more sense to have the polyval_tfm_ctx() function take in the
struct crypto_shash.

How about using the following:

static inline struct polyval_tfm_ctx *polyval_tfm_ctx(struct crypto_shash *tfm)
{
        return PTR_ALIGN(crypto_shash_ctx(tfm), POLYVAL_ALIGN);
}
