crypto: akcipher - new verify API for public key algorithms
Previous akcipher .verify() just `decrypts' (using RSA encrypt which is using public key) signature to uncover message hash, which was then compared in upper level public_key_verify_signature() with the expected hash value, which itself was never passed into verify(). This approach was incompatible with EC-DSA family of algorithms, because, to verify a signature EC-DSA algorithm also needs a hash value as input; then it's used (together with a signature divided into halves `r||s') to produce a witness value, which is then compared with `r' to determine if the signature is correct. Thus, for EC-DSA, nor requirements of .verify() itself, nor its output expectations in public_key_verify_signature() wasn't sufficient. Make improved .verify() call which gets hash value as input and produce complete signature check without any output besides status. Now for the top level verification only crypto_akcipher_verify() needs to be called and its return value inspected. Make sure that `digest' is in kmalloc'd memory (in place of `output`) in {public,tpm}_key_verify_signature() as insisted by Herbert Xu, and will be changed in the following commit.
