crypto: ecdsa - Extend res.x mod n calculation for NIST P521
res.x has been calculated by ecc_point_mult_shamir, which uses
'mod curve_prime' on res.x and therefore p > res.x with 'p' being the
curve_prime. Further, it is true that for the NIST curves p > n with 'n'
being the 'curve_order' and therefore the following may be true as well:
p > res.x >= n.
If res.x >= n then res.x mod n can be calculated by iteratively sub-
tracting n from res.x until res.x < n. For NIST P192/256/384 this can be
done in a single subtraction. This can also be done in a single
subtraction for NIST P521.
The mathematical reason why a single subtraction is sufficient is due to
the values of 'p' and 'n' of the NIST curves where the following holds
true:
note: max(res.x) = p - 1
max(res.x) - n < n
p - 1 - n < n
p - 1 < 2n => holds true for the NIST curves
