Adjust the calculation of the maximum signature size for support of NIST P521. While existing curves may prepend a 0 byte to their coordinates (to make the number positive), NIST P521 will not do this since only the first bit in the most significant byte is used. If the encoding of the x & y coordinates requires at least 128 bytes then an additional byte is needed for the encoding of the length. Take this into account when calculating the maximum signature size.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
