Add "xts(camellia)", "xts(serpent)", and "xts(twofish)" to the allowlist
for af_alg_restrict=1.  These niche AES alternatives have continued to
see rare but persistent use via cryptsetup, which has historically
relied on the AF_ALG support for these ciphers in XTS mode for
performing the keyslot encryption.  (cryptsetup v2.8.7 and later fall
back to a temporary dm-crypt mapping, but that requires root.)
