commit 621eaf49a289bfac26d4cbcdb7396e796784c534

    Fix DSA, preserve BN_FLG_CONSTTIME
    
    Operations in the DSA signing algorithm should run in constant time in
    order to avoid side channel attacks. A flaw in the OpenSSL DSA
    implementation means that a non-constant time codepath is followed for
    certain operations. This has been demonstrated through a cache-timing
    attack to be sufficient for an attacker to recover the private DSA key.
