How about adding a comment at the end of the struct above that says that the
struct is followed by the two exported_length_digests?  (Or hashed_tweaklen,
which is the name suggested in my suggested helper functions below?)

Likewise above for the hashed tweak.

Also how about adding inline functions or macros that return these new fields,
so that the arithmetic to find them doesn't have to be duplicated in the code?
The 'exported_length_digests' array local variables are a bit weird.  Maybe just
use some helper functions directly to get at the fields?

How about:

static inline u8 *hctr2_hashed_tweaklen(const struct hctr2_tfm_ctx *tctx,
                                        bool odd)
{
        u8 *p = (u8 *)tctx + sizeof(*tctx);

        if (odd) /* For messages not a multiple of block length */
                p += crypto_shash_statesize(tctx->polyval);
        return p;
}

static inline u8 *hctr2_hashed_tweak(const struct hctr2_tfm_ctx *tctx,
                                     struct hctr2_request_ctx *rctx)
{
        return (u8 *)rctx + tctx->hashed_tweak_offset;
}

The size needed by crypto_shash_export() is crypto_shash_statesize(), not
crypto_shash_descsize().  They happen to be the same with all polyval
implementations you've proposed, but it's not guaranteed for shash algorithms in
general.

hctr2_setkey() is getting pretty long.  How about splitting the tweak length
pre-hashing into a helper function?

Also, a comment that explains why the tweak length is being pre-hashed, and why
it *can* be pre-hashed, would be helpful.  Note that it is only possible because
this implementation only supports one tweak length.
