Instead of allocating the shash_desc here, can you allocate it in
test_hash_vs_generic_impl() and call it 'generic_desc'?  Then it would match
test_skcipher_vs_generic_impl() and test_aead_vs_generic_impl() which already
dynamically allocate their skcipher_request and aead_request, respectively.

Otherwise I guess this patch is fine for now, though there's still a lot of
stuff with nontrivial size on the stack (cfgname, vec_name, _generic_driver,
hash_testvec, plus the stuff in test_hash_vec_cfg).  There's also still a
testvec_config on the stack in test_{hash,skcipher,aead}_vec(); I assume you
didn't see a warning there only because it wasn't in combination with as much
other stuff on the stack.

I should probably have a go at refactoring this code to pack up most of this
stuff in *_params structures, which would then be dynamically allocated much
more easily.
