Change the digest fields in struct dm_verity_io from variable-length to fixed-length, since their maximum length is fixed at HASH_MAX_DIGESTSIZE, i.e. 64 bytes, which is not too big. This is simpler and makes the fields a bit faster to access. (HASH_MAX_DIGESTSIZE did not exist when this code was written, which may explain why it wasn't used.) This makes the verity_io_real_digest() and verity_io_want_digest() functions trivial, but this patch leaves them in place temporarily since most of their callers will go away in a later patch anyway.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
