[ Upstream commit 590bfb57b2328951d5833979e7ca1d5fde2e609a ]

It is insecure to allow arbitrary hash algorithms and signature
encodings to be used with arbitrary signature algorithms.  Notably,
ECDSA, ECRDSA, and SM2 all sign/verify raw hash values and don't
disambiguate between different hash algorithms like RSA PKCS#1 v1.5
padding does.  Therefore, they need to be restricted to certain sets of
hash algorithms (ideally just one, but in practice small sets are used).
Additionally, the encoding is an integral part of modern signature
algorithms, and is not supposed to vary.

Therefore, tighten the checks of hash_algo and encoding done by
software_key_determine_akcipher().

Also rearrange the parameters to software_key_determine_akcipher() to
put the public_key first, as this is the most important parameter and it
often determines everything else.

[s.shtylyov@xxxxxx: removed the ECDSA related code.]

Fixes: 299f561a6693 ("x509: Add support for parsing x509 certs with ECDSA keys")
Fixes: 215525639631 ("X.509: support OSCCA SM2-with-SM3 certificate verification")
Fixes: 0d7a78643f69 ("crypto: ecrdsa - add EC-RDSA (GOST 34.10) algorithm")
