[PATCH v2 04/14] lib/mpi: mpi_write_sgl(): fix out-of-bounds stack access

Within the copying loop in mpi_write_sgl(), we have

if (lzeros) {
mpi_limb_t *limb1 = (void *)p - sizeof(alimb);
mpi_limb_t *limb2 = (void *)p - sizeof(alimb)
+ lzeros;
*limb1 = *limb2;
...
}

where p points past the end of alimb2 which lives on the stack and contains
the current limb in BE order.

The purpose of the above is to shift the non-zero bytes of alimb2 to its
beginning in memory, i.e. to skip its leading zero bytes.

However, limb2 points somewhere into the middle of alimb2 and thus, reading
*limb2 pulls in lzero bytes from somewhere.

Indeed, KASAN splats:

What's more, since lzeros can be anything from 1 to sizeof(mpi_limb_t)-1,
the above will cause unaligned accesses which is bad on non-x86 archs.

Fix the issue, by preparing the starting point p for the upcoming copy
operation instead of shifting the source memory, i.e. alimb2.
