On the following call path, `sig->pkey_algo` is not assigned in asymmetric_key_verify_signature(), which causes runtime crash in public_key_verify_signature().
keyctl_pkey_verify asymmetric_key_verify_signature verify_signature public_key_verify_signature This patch simply check this situation and fixes the crash caused by NULL pointer.
