Subject: [PATCH] pubkey: avoid spurious audit messages from
 _gnutls_pubkey_compatible_with_sig()

When checking in _gnutls_pubkey_compatible_with_sig() whether a public
key is compatible with a signature algorithm, run first
pubkey_supports_sig() before performing weaker checks that can accept
the given algorithm but with an audit-log warning. This avoids an issue
when a weaker check would log an audit message for some signature
algorithm that would then be determined as incompatible by the
pubkey_supports_sig() check anyway.

For instance, a GnuTLS server might have a certificate with a SECP384R1
public key and a client can report that it supports
ECDSA-SECP256R1-SHA256 and ECDSA-SECP384R1-SHA384. In such a case, the
GnuTLS server will eventually find that it must use
ECDSA-SECP384R1-SHA384 with this public key. However, the code would
first run _gnutls_pubkey_compatible_with_sig() to check if SECP384R1 is
compatible with ECDSA-SECP256R1-SHA256. The function would report the
audit warning "The hash size used in signature (32) is less than the
expected (48)" but then reject the signature algorithm in
pubkey_supports_sig() as incompatible because it has a different curve.
Since the algorithm gets rejected it is not necessary to inform about
its hash size difference in the audit log.
