crypto: sha512 - reduce stack usage to safe number
For rounds 16--79, W[i] only depends on W[i - 2], W[i - 7], W[i - 15] and W[i - 16]. Consequently, keeping all W[80] array on stack is unnecessary, only 16 values are really needed. Using W[16] instead of W[80] greatly reduces stack usage (~750 bytes to ~340 bytes on x86_64). Line by line explanation: * BLEND_OP array is "circular" now, all indexes have to be modulo 16. Round number is positive, so remainder operation should be without surprises. * initial full message scheduling is trimmed to first 16 values which come from data block, the rest is calculated before it's needed. * original loop body is unrolled version of new SHA512_0_15 and SHA512_16_79 macros, unrolling was done to not do explicit variable renaming. Otherwise it's the very same code after preprocessing. See sha1_transform() code which does the same trick. Patch survives in-tree crypto test and original bugreport test (ping flood with hmac(sha512).
