The patch itself looks trivial ("just move the structure to the outer
scope").

The interesting bit is "why" :-) - "set_pss_params()" is harmless (it
just fills the data in the structure), but then mech.pParameter is set
to &pss_params, and *this* is passed to pkcs11h_certificate_signAny_ex()
a few lines down, outside the original scope.

So - the patch makes sense, the bug is obvious in hindsight, and we
also have a confirmation in #323 that the patch fixes a real problem
"depending on compiler and OS", nasty.

For testing, I have only used the GH Action builds - there's two
instances that build with --enable-pkcs11 and run the tests (and I
have no suitable setup locally).
