[PATCH] rsa: fix alignment issue when getting public exponent

From: Heiko Stuebner <heiko.stuebner at theobroma-systems.com>

To fill the exponent field of the rsa_public_key struct, rsa_mod_exp_sw
did a cast to uint64_t of the key_prop->public_exponent field.
But that alignment is not guaranteed in all cases.

This came to light when in my spl-fit-signature the key-name exceeded
a certain length and with it the verification then started failing.
(naming it "integrity" worked fine, "integrity-uboot" failed)

key_prop.public_exponent itself is actually a void-pointer, fdt_getprop()
also just returns such a void-pointer and inside the devicetree the 64bit
exponent is represented as 2 32bit numbers, so assuming a 64bit alignment
can lead to false reads.

So just use the already existing rsa_convert_big_endian() to do the actual
conversion from the dt's big-endian to the needed uint64 value.
