    digsig: add hash size comparision on signature verification
    
    Commit b35e286a640f31d619a637332972498b51f3fd90 introduced the bug.
    
    When pkcs_1_v1_5_decode_emsa() returns without error and hash sizes do not
    match, hash comparision is not done and digsig_verify_rsa() returns no error.
    This is a bug and this patch fixes it.
