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.
