Subject: [PATCH 5.10 073/145] crypto: asym_tpm: correct zero out potential secrets

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>

commit f93274ef0fe972c120c96b3207f8fce376231a60 upstream.

The function derive_pub_key() should be calling memzero_explicit()
instead of memset() in case the complier decides to optimize away the
call to memset() because it "knows" no one is going to touch the memory
anymore.
