crypto: dh - split out deserialization code from crypto_dh_decode()

A subsequent commit will introduce "dh" wrapping templates of the form
"ffdhe2048(dh)", "ffdhe3072(dh)" and so on in order to provide built-in
support for the well-known safe-prime ffdhe group parameters specified in
RFC 7919.

Those templates' ->set_secret() will wrap the inner "dh" implementation's
->set_secret() and set the ->p and ->g group parameters as appropriate on
the way inwards. More specifically,
- A ffdheXYZ(dh) user would call crypto_dh_encode() on a struct dh instance
having ->p == ->g == NULL as well as ->p_size == ->g_size == 0 and pass
the resulting buffer to the outer ->set_secret().
- This outer ->set_secret() would then decode the struct dh via
crypto_dh_decode_key(), set ->p, ->g, ->p_size as well as ->g_size as
appropriate for the group in question and encode the struct dh again
before passing it further down to the inner "dh"'s ->set_secret().

The problem is that crypto_dh_decode_key() implements some basic checks
which would reject parameter sets with ->p_size == 0 and thus, the ffdheXYZ
templates' ->set_secret() cannot use it as-is for decoding the passed
buffer. As the inner "dh"'s ->set_secret() will eventually conduct said
checks on the final parameter set anyway, the outer ->set_secret() really
only needs the decoding functionality.

Split out the pure struct dh decoding part from crypto_dh_decode_key() into
the new __crypto_dh_decode_key().

__crypto_dh_decode_key() gets defined in crypto/dh_helper.c, but will have
to get called from crypto/dh.c and thus, its declaration must be somehow
made available to the latter. Strictly speaking, __crypto_dh_decode_key()
is internal to the dh_generic module, yet it would be a bit over the top
to introduce a new header like e.g. include/crypto/internal/dh.h
containing just a single prototype. Add the __crypto_dh_decode_key()
declaration to include/crypto/dh.h instead.

Provide a proper kernel-doc annotation, even though
__crypto_dh_decode_key() is purposedly not on the function list specified
in Documentation/crypto/api-kpp.rst.

crypto: dh - constify struct dh's pointer members

struct dh contains several pointer members corresponding to DH parameters:
->key, ->p and ->g. A subsequent commit will introduce "dh" wrapping
templates of the form "ffdhe2048(dh)", "ffdhe3072(dh)" and so on in order
to provide built-in support for the well-known safe-prime ffdhe group
parameters specified in RFC 7919. These templates will need to set the
group parameter related members of the (serialized) struct dh instance
passed to the inner "dh" kpp_alg instance, i.e. ->p and ->g, to some
constant, static storage arrays.

Turn the struct dh pointer members' types into "pointer to const" in
preparation for this.

crypto: dh - remove struct dh's ->q member

The only current user of the DH KPP algorithm, the
keyctl(KEYCTL_DH_COMPUTE) syscall, doesn't set the domain parameter ->q
in struct dh. Remove it and any associated (de)serialization code in
crypto_dh_encode_key() and crypto_dh_decode_key. Adjust the encoded
->secret values in testmgr's DH test vectors accordingly.

Note that the dh-generic implementation would have initialized its
struct dh_ctx's ->q from the decoded struct dh's ->q, if present. If this
struct dh_ctx's ->q would ever have been non-NULL, it would have enabled a
full key validation as specified in NIST SP800-56A in dh_is_pubkey_valid().
However, as outlined above, ->q is always NULL in practice and the full key
validation code is effectively dead. A later patch will make
dh_is_pubkey_valid() to calculate Q from P on the fly, if possible, so
don't remove struct dh_ctx's ->q now, but leave it there until that has
happened.

crypto: dh - add public key verification test

According to SP800-56A section 5.6.2.1, the public key to be processed
for the DH operation shall be checked for appropriateness. The check
shall covers the full verification test in case the domain parameter Q
is provided as defined in SP800-56A section 5.6.2.3.1. If Q is not
provided, the partial check according to SP800-56A section 5.6.2.3.2 is
performed.

The full verification test requires the presence of the domain parameter
Q. Thus, the patch adds the support to handle Q. It is permissible to
not provide the Q value as part of the domain parameters. This implies
that the interface is still backwards-compatible where so far only P and
G are to be provided. However, if Q is provided, it is imported.

Without the test, the NIST ACVP testing fails. After adding this check,
the NIST ACVP testing passes. Testing without providing the Q domain
parameter has been performed to verify the interface has not changed.
