crypto: ecdsa - Fix NIST P521 key size reported by KEYCTL_PKEY_QUERY
When user space issues a KEYCTL_PKEY_QUERY system call for a NIST P521 key, the key_size is incorrectly reported as 528 bits instead of 521. That's because the key size obtained through crypto_sig_keysize() is in bytes and software_key_query() multiplies by 8 to yield the size in bits. The underlying assumption is that the key size is always a multiple of 8. With the recent addition of NIST P521, that's no longer the case. Fix by returning the key_size in bits from crypto_sig_keysize() and adjusting the calculations in software_key_query(). The ->key_size() callbacks of sig_alg algorithms now return the size in bits, whereas the ->digest_size() and ->max_size() callbacks return the size in bytes. This matches with the units in struct keyctl_pkey_query.
