crypto: drbg - Fix drbg_max_addtl() on 64-bit kernels
On 64-bit kernels, drbg_max_addtl() returns 2**35 bytes. That's too
large, for two reasons:
1. SP800-90A says the maximum limit is 2**35 *bits*, not 2**35 bytes.
So the implemented limit has confused bits and bytes.
2. When drbg_kcapi_hash() calls crypto_shash_update() on the additional
information string, the length is implicitly cast to 'unsigned int'.
That truncates the additional information string to U32_MAX bytes.
Fix the maximum additional information string length to always be
U32_MAX - 1, causing an error to be returned for any longer lengths.
