Subject: [PATCH 3/6] PKCS#7: fix direct verification of SignerInfo signature

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@...gle.com>

If none of the certificates in a SignerInfo's certificate chain match a
trusted key, nor is the last certificate signed by a trusted key, then
pkcs7_validate_trust_one() tries to check whether the SignerInfo's
signature was made directly by a trusted key.  But, it actually fails to
set the 'sig' variable correctly, so it actually verifies the last
signature seen.  That will only be the SignerInfo's signature if the
certificate chain is empty; otherwise it will actually be the last
certificate's signature.

This is not by itself a security problem, since verifying any of the
certificates in the chain should be sufficient to verify the SignerInfo.
Still, it's not working as intended so it should be fixed.

Fix it by setting 'sig' correctly for the direct verification case.
