Subject: [PATCH 4.5 081/238] crypto: keywrap - memzero the correct memory

4.5-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...cle.com>

commit 2b8b28fd232233c22fb61009dd8b0587390d2875 upstream.

We're clearing the wrong memory.  The memory corruption is likely
harmless because we weren't going to use that stack memory again but not
zeroing is a potential information leak.

Fixes: e28facde3c39 ('crypto: keywrap - add key wrapping block chaining mode')
