[PATCH v2] KEYS: asymmetric: Copy sig and digest in public_key_verify_signature()

From: Roberto Sassu <roberto.sassu at huawei.com>

Commit ac4e97abce9b8 ("scatterlist: sg_set_buf() argument must be in linear
mapping") checks that both the signature and the digest reside in the
linear mapping area.

However, more recently commit ba14a194a434c ("fork: Add generic vmalloced
stack support"), made it possible to move the stack in the vmalloc area,
which is not contiguous, and thus not suitable for sg_set_buf() which needs
adjacent pages.

Always make a copy of the signature and digest in the same buffer used to
store the key and its parameters, and pass them to sg_set_buf(). Prefer it
to conditionally doing the copy if necessary, to keep the code simple. The
buffer allocated with kmalloc() is in the linear mapping area.
