[PATCH v2] docs: crypto: async-tx-api: fix broken code example

From: Ahmad Fatoum
Date: Wed May 29 2024 - 04:18:30 EST


The code example fails to compile:

1) addr_conv is defined twice, once as a VLA, which have been phased out

2) submit is not a pointer, but is still dereferenced with ->

3) The first call to async_xor() lacked the trailing semicolon

Fix these issues and while at it, fix some code style nitpicks as well:

1) make the functions static as users are unlikely to export them

2) include the relevant header

3) Shorten the example a bit by removing a redundant variable
definition

Fixes: 04ce9ab385dc ("async_xor: permit callers to pass in a 'dma/page scribble' region")
