mpi: Avoid using freed pointer in mpi_lshift_limbs()
At the start of the function we assign 'a->d' to 'ap'. Then we use the RESIZE_IF_NEEDED macro on 'a' - this may free 'a->d' and replace it with newly allocaetd storage. In that case, we'll be operating on freed memory further down in the function when we index into 'ap[]'. Since we don't actually need 'ap' until after the use of the RESIZE_IF_NEEDED macro we can just delay the assignment to it until after we've potentially resized, thus avoiding the issue. While I was there anyway I also changed the integer variable 'n' to be const. It might as well be since we only assign to it once and use it as a constant, and then the compiler will tell us if we ever assign to it in the future.
