crypto: dh - remove struct dh's ->q member
The only current user of the DH KPP algorithm, the keyctl(KEYCTL_DH_COMPUTE) syscall, doesn't set the domain parameter ->q in struct dh. Remove it and any associated (de)serialization code in crypto_dh_encode_key() and crypto_dh_decode_key. Adjust the encoded ->secret values in testmgr's DH test vectors accordingly. Note that the dh-generic implementation would have initialized its struct dh_ctx's ->q from the decoded struct dh's ->q, if present. If this struct dh_ctx's ->q would ever have been non-NULL, it would have enabled a full key validation as specified in NIST SP800-56A in dh_is_pubkey_valid(). However, as outlined above, ->q is always NULL in practice and the full key validation code is effectively dead. A later patch will make dh_is_pubkey_valid() to calculate Q from P on the fly, if possible, so don't remove struct dh_ctx's ->q now, but leave it there until that has happened.
