This issue has been found by the Sashiko bot while reviewing another
patch: key_tmp[] in safexcel_xcbcmac_setkey() and consts[] / _const[]
in safexcel_cmac_setkey() contain crypto key material that should not
get exposed to the outside once the function is done. Scrub the arrays
with memzero_explicit() to avoid that the data could leak via the stack.
