ecc_point_mult is supposed to be used with a regularized scalar,
otherwise, it's possible to deduce the position of the top bit of the
scalar with timing attack. This is important when the scalar is a
private key.
ecc_point_mult is already using a regular algorithm (i.e. having an
operation flow independent of the input scalar) but regularization step
is not implemented.
Arrange scalar to always have fixed top bit by adding a multiple of the
curve order (n).

The constant time regularization step is based on micro-ecc by Kenneth
MacKay and also referenced in the literature (Bernstein, D. J., & Lange,
T. (2017). Montgomery curves and the Montgomery ladder. (Cryptology

Currently used scalar multiplication algorithm (Matthieu Rivain, 2011)
have invalid values for scalar == 1, n-1, and for regularized version
n-2, which was previously not checked. Verify that they are not used as
private keys.

According to SP800-56A section 5.6.2.1, the public key to be processed
for the ECDH operation shall be checked for appropriateness. When the
public key is considered to be an ephemeral key, the partial validation
test as defined in SP800-56A section 5.6.2.3.4 can be applied.
The partial verification test requires the presence of the field
elements of a and b. For the implemented NIST curves, b is defined in
FIPS 186-4 appendix D.1.2. The element a is implicitly given with the
Weierstrass equation given in D.1.2 where a = p - 3.
Without the test, the NIST ACVP testing fails. After adding this check,
the NIST ACVP testing passes.

On the quest to remove all VLAs from the kernel[1], this avoids VLAs
by just using the maximum allocation size (4 bytes) for stack arrays.
All the VLAs in ecc were either 3 or 4 bytes (or a multiple), so just
make it 4 bytes all the time. Initialization routines are adjusted to
check that ndigits does not end up larger than the arrays.
This includes a removal of the earlier attempt at this fix from
commit a963834b4742 ("crypto/ecc: Remove stack VLA usage")

On the quest to remove all VLAs from the kernel[1], this switches to
a pair of kmalloc regions instead of using the stack. This also moves
the get_random_bytes() after all allocations (and drops the needless
"nbytes" variable).

If crypto_get_default_rng returns an error, the
function ecc_gen_privkey should return an error.
Instead, it currently tries to use the default_rng
nevertheless, thus creating a kernel panic with a
NULL pointer dereference.
Returning the error directly, as was supposedly
intended when looking at the code, fixes this.

Add support for generating ecc private keys.
Generation of ecc private keys is helpful in a user-space to kernel
ecdh offload because the keys are not revealed to user-space. Private
key generation is also helpful to implement forward secrecy.
If the user provides a NULL ecc private key, the kernel will generate it
and further use it for ecdh.
Move ecdh's object files below drbg's. drbg must be present in the kernel
at the time of calling.
