staging: rtl8192e: ieee80211: Convert from ahash to shash
This is an identical change to the wireless/lib80211 of the same name. In preparing to remove all stack VLA usage from the kernel[1], this removes the discouraged use of AHASH_REQUEST_ON_STACK in favor of the smaller SHASH_DESC_ON_STACK by converting from ahash-wrapped-shash to direct shash. By removing a layer of indirection this both improves performance and reduces stack usage. The stack allocation will be made a fixed size in a later patch to the crypto subsystem.
