Stephan Müller d792134423 security: DH - remove dead code for zero padding
Remove the specific code that adds a zero padding that was intended
to be invoked when the DH operation result was smaller than the
modulus. However, this cannot occur any more these days because the
function mpi_write_to_sgl is used in the code path that calculates the
shared secret in dh_compute_value. This MPI service function guarantees
that leading zeros are introduced as needed to ensure the resulting data
is exactly as long as the modulus. This implies that the specific code
to add zero padding is dead code which can be safely removed.

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 Restructured Text 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.
