Fix DSA EVP_PKEY_param_check() when defaults are used for param generation.
Fixes #14480 An internal flag that is set during param gen was not being tested, so the wrong type was used to select the dsa domain param validation method. In the default provider - if no gen_type is set then by default the fips186_4 gentype will be selected when pbits >=2048 otherwise it selects fips186_2. The fips provider ignores the gen_type and always uses fips186_4. Before this change dsa used fips186_2 by default in the default provider.
