Tighten up BN_with_flags usage and avoid a reachable assert
The function rsa_ossl_mod_exp uses the function BN_with_flags to create a
temporary copy (local_r1) of a BIGNUM (r1) with modified flags. This
temporary copy shares some state with the original r1. If the state of r1
gets updated then local_r1's state will be stale. This was occurring in the
function so that when local_r1 was freed a call to bn_check_top was made
which failed an assert due to the stale state. To resolve this we must free
local_r1 immediately after we have finished using it and not wait until the
end of the function.
This problem prompted a review of all BN_with_flag usage within the
codebase. All other usage appears to be correct, although often not
obviously so. This commit refactors things to make it much clearer for
these other uses.
