crypto: dh - calculate Q from P for the full public key verification
As the ->q in struct dh_ctx gets never set anywhere, the code in dh_is_pubkey_valid() for doing the full public key validation in accordance to SP800-56Arev3 is effectively dead. However, for safe-prime groups Q = (P - 1)/2 by definition and as the safe-prime groups are the only possible groups in FIPS mode (via those ffdheXYZ() templates), this enables dh_is_pubkey_valid() to calculate Q on the fly for these. Implement this. With this change, the last code accessing struct dh_ctx's ->q is now gone. Remove this member from struct dh_ctx.
