crypto: ecdh - Pass private key in proper byte order to check valid key
ecc_is_key_valid expects a key with the most significant digit in the last entry of the digit array. Currently ecdh_set_secret passes a reversed key to ecc_is_key_valid that then passes the rather simple test checking whether the private key is in range [2, n-3]. For all current ecdh- supported curves (NIST P192/256/384) the 'n' parameter is a rather large number, therefore easily passing this test. Throughout the ecdh and ecc codebase the variable 'priv' is used for a private_key holding the bytes in proper byte order. Therefore, introduce priv in ecdh_set_secret and copy the bytes from ctx->private_key into priv in proper byte order by using ecc_swap_digits. Pass priv to ecc_is_valid_key.
