Correct a problem that prevents the DSA signing algorithm from running

in constant time even if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set. This issue
was reported by Cesar Pereida (Aalto University), Billy Brumley
(Tampere University of Technology), and Yuval Yarom (The University of
Adelaide and NICTA). The fix was developed by Cesar Pereida
