Lukas Wunner 6b7f9397c9 crypto: ecdsa - Fix NIST P521 key size reported by KEYCTL_PKEY_QUERY
When user space issues a KEYCTL_PKEY_QUERY system call for a NIST P521
key, the key_size is incorrectly reported as 528 bits instead of 521.

That's because the key size obtained through crypto_sig_keysize() is in
bytes and software_key_query() multiplies by 8 to yield the size in bits.
The underlying assumption is that the key size is always a multiple of 8.
With the recent addition of NIST P521, that's no longer the case.

Fix by returning the key_size in bits from crypto_sig_keysize() and
adjusting the calculations in software_key_query().

The ->key_size() callbacks of sig_alg algorithms now return the size in
bits, whereas the ->digest_size() and ->max_size() callbacks return the
size in bytes.  This matches with the units in struct keyctl_pkey_query.
