[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 04/13] cryptodev: do not store pointer to op specific params

[Pablo de Lara <pablo.de.lara.guarch@intel.com>]

Instead of storing a pointer to operation specific parameters,
such as symmetric crypto parameters, use a zero-length array,
to mark that these parameters will be stored after the
generic crypto operation structure, which was already assumed
in the code.
