virtio-crypto: zeroize the key material before free 

Common practice with sensitive information (key material, passwords,
etc). Prevents sensitive information from being exposed by accident later in
coredumps, memory disclosure bugs when heap memory is reused, etc.

Sensitive information is sometimes also held in mlocked pages to prevent
it being swapped to disk but that's not being done here.

Let's zeroize the memory of CryptoDevBackendSymOpInfo structure pointed
for key material security.

[Thanks to Stefan for help with crafting the commit message]
