On a non-preemptible kernel, if KEYCTL_DH_COMPUTE is called with the
largest permitted inputs (16384 bits), the kernel spends 10+ seconds
doing modular exponentiation in mpi_powm() without rescheduling. If all
threads do it, it locks up the system. Moreover, it can cause
rcu_sched-stall warnings.
Notwithstanding the insanity of doing this calculation in kernel mode
rather than in userspace, fix it by calling cond_resched() as each bit
from the exponent is processed. It's still noninterruptible, but at
least it's preemptible now.
Do the cond_resched() once per bit rather than once per MPI limb because
each limb might still easily take 100+ milliseconds on slow CPUs.

Provide count_leading/trailing_zeros() macros based on extant arch bit scanning
functions rather than reimplementing from scratch in MPILIB.
Whilst we're at it, turn count_foo_zeros(n, x) into n = count_foo_zeros(x).
Also move the definition to asm-generic as other people may be interested in
using it.

Definitely better to return error code than to divide by zero.

Adds the multi-precision-integer maths library which was originally taken
from GnuPG and ported to the kernel by (among others) David Howells.
This version is taken from Fedora kernel 2.6.32-71.14.1.el6.
The difference is that checkpatch reported errors and warnings have been fixed.
This library is used to implemenet RSA digital signature verification
used in IMA/EVM integrity protection subsystem.
Due to patch size limitation, the patch is divided into 4 parts.
