Subject: [PATCH] crypto: caam - Avoid GCC memset bug warning

Certain versions of gcc don't like the memcpy with a NULL dst
(which only happens with a zero length).  This only happens
when debugging is enabled so add an if clause to work around
these warnings.

A similar warning used to be generated by sparse but that was
fixed years ago.
