crypto: ecdsa - Fix the public key format description
Public key blob is not just x and y concatenated. It follows RFC5480
section 2.2. Address this by re-documenting the function with the
correct description of the format.

Fixes: 4e6602916bc6 ("crypto: ecdsa - Add support for ECDSA signature verification")
