[PATCH v2 06/14] lib/mpi: mpi_read_buffer(): optimize skipping of leading zero limbs

Currently, if the number of leading zeros is greater than fits into a
complete limb, mpi_read_buffer() skips them by iterating over them
limb-wise.

Instead of skipping the high order zero limbs within the loop as shown
above, adjust the copying loop's bounds.
