3.16.61-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: "Maciej S. Szmigiero" <mail@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit b65c32ec5a942ab3ada93a048089a938918aba7f upstream.
The signatureValue field of a X.509 certificate is encoded as a BIT STRING.
For RSA signatures this BIT STRING is of so-called primitive subtype, which
contains a u8 prefix indicating a count of unused bits in the encoding.
We have to strip this prefix from signature data, just as we already do for
key data in x509_extract_key_data() function.
This wasn't noticed earlier because this prefix byte is zero for RSA key
sizes divisible by 8. Since BIT STRING is a big-endian encoding adding zero
prefixes has no bearing on its value.
The signature length, however was incorrect, which is a problem for RSA
implementations that need it to be exactly correct (like AMD CCP).

[bwh: Backported to 3.16:
- x509_certificate::sig is a structure, not a pointer
- public_key_signature::pkey_algo is an enumeration type, not a string]
