[PATCH v2] crypto: ecc - Fix carry overflow in vli multiplication

[Anastasia Tishchenko <sv3iry@gmail.com>]

The carry flag calculation fails when r01.m_high is saturated
(0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF) and addition of lower bits overflows.

The condition (r01.m_high < product.m_high) doesn't handle the case
where r01.m_high == product.m_high and an additional carry exists
from lower-bit overflow.

When commit 3c4b23901a0c ("crypto: ecdh - Add ECDH software support")
introduced crypto/ecc.c, it split the muladd() function in the
micro-ecc library into separate mul_64_64() and add_128_128() helpers.
It seems the check got lost in translation.

Add proper handling for this boundary by accounting for the carry
from the lower addition.

Changes v1 -> v2:
* Rename add_128_128() to check_add_128_128_overflow() and let it return a bool indicating whether an overflow occurred
* Rewrite an explicit if-else statement using constant-time bitwise arithmetic to avoid a timing side-channel
