[PATCH] crypto: qat - avoid OOB read when stripping RSA leading zeros

[Ahsan Atta <ahsan.atta@intel.com>]

The logical AND operator uses short-circuit evaluation: the first
operand is always evaluated, while the second is evaluated only if
the first is true. Because the first operand dereferences a pointer,
it may cause an out-of-bounds access before the bounds check in the
second operand is evaluated.

Resolve this by checking the vlen prior to the pointer being dereferenced.
