Nate Graham 4fa05d179b Disable and remove af_alg kernel module
It's a source of vulnerability, most recently the "Copy Fail"
vulnerability (CVE-2026-31431). That one is already fixed, but according
to Google crypto guy Eric Biggers [1], it's vulnerable by design. The
only significant things it's used for (iwd and non-default cryptsetup
algorithms) aren't supported in KDE Linux, so let's disable and remove
this functionality.
