[PATCH v8 03/13] crypto: ecdsa - Adjust tests on length of key parameters

[Stefan Berger]

In preparation for support of NIST P521, adjust the basic tests on the
length of the provided key parameters to only ensure that the length of the
x plus y coordinates parameter array is not an odd number and that each
coordinate fits into an array of 'ndigits' digits. Mathematical tests on
the key's parameters are then done in ecc_is_pubkey_valid_full rejecting
invalid keys.

The change is necessary since NIST P521 keys do not have keys with
coordinates that each require 'full' digits (= all bits in u64 used).
NIST P521 only requires 2 bytes (9 bits) in the most significant digit
unlike NIST P192/256/384 that each require multiple 'full' digits.
