upstream commit
Improve crypto ordering for Encrypt-then-MAC (EtM) mode
MAC algorithms.
Previously we were computing the MAC, decrypting the packet and then
checking the MAC. This gave rise to the possibility of creating a
side-channel oracle in the decryption step, though no such oracle has
been identified.
This adds a mac_check() function that computes and checks the MAC in
one pass, and uses it to advance MAC checking for EtM algorithms to
before payload decryption.
