Subject: [PATCH 5.2 080/124] cifs: Use kzfree() to zero out the password

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

[ Upstream commit 478228e57f81f6cb60798d54fc02a74ea7dd267e ]

It's safer to zero out the password so that it can never be disclosed.

Fixes: 0c219f5799c7 ("cifs: set domainName when a domain-key is used in multiuser")
