Subject: lib/mpi: Endianness fix

From: Michal Marek <[email protected]>

commit 3ee0cb5fb5eea2110db1b5cb7f67029b7be8a376 upstream.

The limbs are integers in the host endianness, so we can't simply iterate over the individual bytes. The current code happens to work on little-endian, because the order of the limbs in the MPI array is the same as the order of the bytes in each limb, but it breaks on big-endian.

Fixes 0f74fbf77d45 ("MPI: Fix mpi_read_buffer")
