crypto: caam - Clear some memory in instantiate_rng
[ Upstream commit 9c19fb86a8cb2ee82a832c95e139f29ea05c4d08 ]
According to the comment at the end of the 'for' loop just a few lines
below, it looks needed to clear 'desc'.
So it should also be cleared for the first iteration.
Move the memset() to the beginning of the loop to be safe.
