[dpdk-dev v1] crypto/openssl: fix SM2 pubkey buffer overflow in session setup

The SM2 session setup path in openssl_set_asym_session_parameters()
copies the caller-supplied public key coordinates into a fixed 65-byte
stack buffer (1 byte uncompressed-point prefix + 32 bytes X + 32 bytes
Y) without first validating that the coordinate lengths fit.

Since xform->ec.q.x.length and xform->ec.q.y.length are generic size_t
values from the caller and are not bounds-checked before this point in
the driver, an oversized coordinate pair would overflow the pubkey[]
stack buffer before any OpenSSL API is reached.

Add a guard that rejects the xform when
1 + x.length + y.length > sizeof(pubkey), failing the session create
with the existing err_sm2 error path.
