Without this OpenVPN will later segfault on a FIPS enabled system due
to the algorithm available but not allowed.

Based on the documentation, this function returns 0 on failure and 1 on
success (basically a bool).

How about turning this into:

if (!EVP_DigestInit(ctx, kt))

?

This way it is clear that we are not just looking for '1' as a special
return value, but simply for 'success'. (Same as we do for function
returning a real bool).

What do you think?

Same for this function.
