(ITS#7359) [PATCH] MozNSS: prefer unlocked slot when getting private key

Submission from: (NULL) (94.113.220.43)


With last MozNSS patches for OpenLDAP, the library explicitly opens the
certificate database when retrieving the certificates, even if the database is
already opened. (Requried for safe certificate lookup from a nickname.) This
might also require a re-authentication to a slot, which holds the private key.

Some application might expect that the slot with private key is already unlocked
before passing the control to libldap. This got broken with the recent changes.

I'm attaching a patch which fixes it. If the certificate (and corresponding key)
is held in multiple slots, libldap will take the key from an already
authenticated slot.
