[PATCH 1/2] crypto: ecdh - zeroize crpytographic keys after use

[Hailey Mothershead <hailmo@amazon.com>]

Fips 140-3 specifies that Sensitive Security Parameters (SSPs) must be
zeroized after use and that overwriting these variables with a new SSP
is not sufficient for zeroization. So explicitly zeroize the private key
before it is overwritten in ecdh_set_secret.

It also requires that variables used in the creation of SSPs
be zeroized once they are no longer in use. Zeroize the public key as it
is used in the creation of the shared secret.
