[PATCH v1 1/3] common/cpt: use timing-safe digest comparison

[Rupesh Chiluka]

compl_auth_verify() compared the generated and received MAC with
memcmp(), which returns early on the first differing byte and leaks
the number of matching leading bytes through timing.

Use rte_memeq_timingsafe() for the verify comparison.
