Subject[PATCH v2] net: ipv6: xfrm6_state: remove VLA usage
Date
The kernel would like to have all stack VLA usage removed[1].
Instead of dynamic allocation, just use XFRM_MAX_DEPTH
as already done for the "class" array, but as per feedback,
I will not drop maxclass because that changes the behavior.
In one case, it'll do this loop up to 5, the other
caller up to 6.

- use XFRM_MAX_DEPTH for "count" array (Steffen and Mathias).
