This is from patch "crypto: zstd - convert to acomp" currently as commit
f5ad93ffb54119a8dc in linux-next. Should it rather be folded there? It's
part of the crypto queue.

Oh, weird. This is a very recent change. This should include:

Fixes: f5ad93ffb541 ("crypto: zstd - convert to acomp")

And likely, to use __counted_by(wksp_size)

I'm surprised checkpatch.pl didn't warn, but I guess the __aligned
confused the script?

I hesitated because semantically "size" isn't a "count" although the
values are the same here.
