For kvmalloc'ed data object that contains sensitive information like cryptographic keys, we need to make sure that the buffer is always cleared before freeing it. Using memset() alone for buffer clearing may not provide certainty as the compiler may compile it away. To be sure, the special memzero_explicit() has to be used. This patch introduces a new kvfree_sensitive() for freeing those sensitive data objects allocated by kvmalloc(). The relevant places where kvfree_sensitive() can be used are modified to use it.
