[RESEND PATCH] KEYS: asymmetric: Fix ECDSA use via keyctl uapi
From: Denis Kenzior
Date: Wed Aug 24 2022 - 15:11:41 EST
When support for ECDSA keys was added, constraints for data & signature
sizes were never updated. This makes it impossible to use such keys via
keyctl API from userspace; fix that.
Fixes: 299f561a6693 ("x509: Add support for parsing x509 certs with ECDSA keys")
