From: Hailey Mothershead <hailmo@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 23e4099bdc3c8381992f9eb975c79196d6755210 upstream. I.G 9.7.B for FIPS 140-3 specifies that variables temporarily holding cryptographic information should be zeroized once they are no longer needed. Accomplish this by using kfree_sensitive for buffers that previously held the private key.
