Subject[ 30/34] net: sctp: sctp_auth_key_put: use kzfree instead of kfree
Date
3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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


From: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com>

[ Upstream commit 586c31f3bf04c290dc0a0de7fc91d20aa9a5ee53 ]

For sensitive data like keying material, it is common practice to zero
out keys before returning the memory back to the allocator. Thus, use
kzfree instead of kfree.
