4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <greg@xxxxxxxxx>
commit b97b3d9fb57860a60592859e332de7759fd54c2e upstream.
If we are not echoing the data to userspace or the console is in icanon
mode, then perhaps it is a "secret" so we should wipe it once we are
done with it.
This mirrors the logic that the audit code has.
