In loader.c, we allocate format->param.binary_size for each binary. If
we have a binary size less that the actual size(64), we will only have
first 8 bytes binary and discard the remains.
In self_test, this is different. We don't allocate memory for binary.
We only point to the test array. So we will get the full binary.
And why 8 bytes binary doesn't work. I have reduced sha512 round from
80 to 77. The 3rd 8 bytes will be uses for comparison. We lost these
bytes if the BINARY_SIZE is set to 8. What's more, with 8 bytes
binary, the cmp_exact() should not work either.
So reduce the BINARY_SIZE to 8 is not necessary. It supports lower
size. The reason is we lost some binary bytes..
