[PATCH] crypto: public_key: check that pkey_algo is non-NULL before passing it to strcmp()

When public_key_verify_signature() is called from
asymmetric_key_verify_signature(), the pkey_algo field of struct
public_key_signature will be NULL, which causes a NULL pointer dereference
in the strcmp() check. Fix this by adding a NULL check.

One visible manifestation of this is that userspace programs (such as the
'iwd' WiFi daemon) will be killed when trying to verify a TLS key using the
keyctl(2) interface.
