Fix bug in _gcry_mpi_tdiv_q_2exp.
* mpi/mpi-internal.h (MPN_COPY_INCR): Make it work. -- This bug has been with us since the version 0.0.0 of GnuPG. Fortunately it only affects an optimized code path which is rarely used in practice: If the shift size matches the size of a limb (i.e.. 32 or 64); this is is_prime in primegen.c. Over there the Rabin-Miller test may fail with a probability of 2^-31 (that is if the to be tested prime - 1 has the low 32 bits cleared). In practice the probability is even much less because we first do a Fermat test on the randomly generated candidates which sorts out the majority of composite numbers. The bug in MPN_COPY_INCR was found by Sven Bjorn. Signed-off-by: Werner Koch <wk@gnupg.org>
