Because we can get slot information from keys manager in the 
xmlSecKeyInfoCtxPtr, so I think we can avoid use "getSlot" things here.

The keys manager turns out again, I think we can put the "getSlot" 
functions at keys manager. If you have time, you can have a look at the 
"keystore.c" of my demo, which provide a xmlSecKeyStore and a routine 
returns a xmlSecKeysMngrPtr. I used the "xmlSecNssKeyStoreGetSlot" 
function when I process X509 certificate( see certificates.c ).
