Comment still needed?

I think you fixed the BUG_ON() problem but there's still an issue with the 
handling of the digest. Check the use of sig->digest in 
public_key_verify_signature(), it's an input not an output. Right now it 
looks like 20 uninitialized bytes are compared with the computed digest 
within verify_signature, and then the unintialized bytes are copied to 
req->dst here.

With some modifications to public_key_verify_signature you could get the 
digest you need, but I'm not sure if verification with a hardware key 
(like a key in a TPM) can or can not provide the digest needed. Maybe this 
is why the verify_signature hook in struct asymmetric_key_subtype is 
optional.
