sae: fix potential infinite loop

Browse Source 
It was assumed that the hunt-and-peck loop was guarenteed to find
a PWE. This was incorrect in terms of kernel support. If a system
does not have support for AF_ALG or runs out of file descriptors
the KDFs may fail. The loop continued to run if found == false,
which is also incorrect because we want to stop after 20 iterations
regarless of success.

This changes the loop to a for loop so it will always exit after
the set number of iterations.
