Now that this file doesn't use crypto_memneq(), the include of <crypto/algapi.h>
can be removed.

The comment should say @slot_ptr, not @keyslot.  You can find kerneldoc warnings
using 'scripts/kernel-doc -v -none $file'.

IMO, shorten this a bit to something like "Find out if a crypto configuration is
supported by a ksm", so that less of the comment becomes outdated when someone
adds a new field.

"config", not "key".
