EVP: don't touch the lock for evp_pkey_downgrade
This commit tries to address a locking issue in evp_pkey_reset_unlocked
which can occur when it is called from evp_pkey_downgrade.
evp_pkey_downgrade will acquire a lock for pk->lock and if successful
then call evp_pkey_reset_unlocked. evp_pkey_reset_unlocked will call
memset on pk, and then create a new lock and set pk->lock to point to
that new lock. I believe there are two problems with this.
The first is that after the call to memset, another thread would try to
acquire a lock for NULL as that is what the value of pk->lock would be
at that point.
The second issue is that after the new lock has been assigned to
pk->lock, that lock is different from the one currently locked so
another thread trying to acquire the lock will succeed which can lead to
strange behaviour. More details and a reproducer can be found in the
Refs link below.
This changes the evp_pkey_reset_unlocked to not touch the lock
and the creation of a new lock is done in EVP_PKEY_new.
