Algorithm name is compared via reference identity

      In sun.security.provider.DSA.engineInitSign() a check for the key size is meant to be skipped if the MessageDigest is NullDigest20.

      However, the check for the algorithm's name is done via comparing with a String literal, which is not guaranteed to be accurate.

      The comparison should be done via String.equals() instead.
