f43c239407 crypto: arm - replace memset by memzero_explicit
Memset on a local variable may be removed when it is called just before the
variable goes out of scope.  Using memzero_explicit defeats this
optimization.  A simplified version of the semantic patch that makes this
change is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@@
identifier x;
type T;
@@

{
... when any
T x[...];
... when any
    when exists
- memset
+ memzero_explicit
  (x,
-0,
  ...)
... when != x
    when strict
}
// </smpl>

5d26a105b5 crypto: prefix module autoloading with "crypto-"
This prefixes all crypto module loading with "crypto-" so we never run
the risk of exposing module auto-loading to userspace via a crypto API,
as demonstrated by Mathias Krause:
