Subject: [PATCH 2/2] crypto: ecdh & ecc - Initialize ctx->private_key in proper byte order

ctx->private_key is currently initialized in reverse byte order in
ecdh_set_secret and whenever it is needed in proper byte order the variable
priv is introduced and the bytes from ctx->private_key are copied into priv
while being byte-swapped (ecc_swap_digits). To get rid of the unnecessary
byte swapping initialize ctx->private_key in proper byte order and clean up
all functions that were previously using priv or were called with
ctx->private_key:

- ecc_gen_privkey: Directly initialize the passed ctx->private_key with
  random bytes and get rid of the priv variable. This function only has
  ecdh_set_secret as a caller.

- crypto_ecdh_shared_secret: Called only from ecdh_compute_value with
  ctx->private_key. Get rid of the priv variable and work with the passed
  private_key directly.

- ecc_make_pub_key: Called only from ecdh_compute_value with
  ctx->private_key. Get rid of the priv variable and work with the passed
  private_key directly.
