Yes, better.

The problem is a misalignment between req->src_len (set to sig->s_size
by akcipher_request_set_crypt()) and the length of the scatterlist (if
we set the latter to sig->s_size + sig->digest_size).

When rsa_enc() calls mpi_read_raw_from_sgl(), it passes req->src_len as
argument, and the latter allocates the MPI according to that. However,
it does parsing depending on the length of the scatterlist.

If there are two scatterlists, it is not a problem, there is no
misalignment. mpi_read_raw_from_sgl() picks the first. If there is just
one, mpi_read_raw_from_sgl() parses all data there.
