Fix a small timing side channel in dsa_sign_setup(). Simple adaptation
of OpenSSL commit c0caa945f6ef30363e0d01d75155f20248403df4 to our
version of this function.

Address a timing side channel whereby it is possible to determine some
information about the length of the scalar used in DSA operations from
a large number (2^32) of signatures.
This doesn't rate as a CVE because:
* For the non-constant time code, there are easier ways to extract
more information.
* For the constant time code, it requires a significant number of signatures
to leak a small amount of information.
Thanks to Neals Fournaise, Eliane Jaulmes and Jean-Rene Reinhard for
reporting this issue.
