This seems quite sub-optimal: IIUC, shash should only be used for small
amount of hashing. That's why tcp-md5 uses ahash with scatterlists.
Which drives me to the question: why not reuse tcp_md5sig_pool code?

And it seems that you can avoid TCP_AUTHOPT_ALG_* enum and just supply
to crypto the string from socket option (like xfrm does).

Here is my idea:
