Subject: [PATCH 5.15 045/106] staging: r8188eu: Use zeroing allocator in wpa_set_encryption()

From: Gustavo A. R. Silva <gustavoars@...nel.org>

[ Upstream commit c82462f124df06a0a34793f1a1dafe5c146a2a6f ]

Use zeroing allocator rather than allocator followed by memset with 0.

This issue was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
