In the quest to remove all stack VLA usage from the kernel[1], this uses
the maximum blocksize and adds a sanity check. For xcbc, the blocksize
must always be 16, so use that, since it's already being enforced during
instantiation.

Please remove this.  You already checked it in xcbc_create.

In fact, you should just make bs XCBC_BLOCKSIZE unconditinoally
in this function.
