From: Thomas Huth <[email protected]> The crypto_authenc_keys structure only contains pointers to keys, but not the key data itself. So explicitly clearing the structure at the end of safexcel_aead_setkey() is not really necessary. On the other hand, the crypto_aes_ctx might contain sensitive information, so this structure should be cleaned up at the end instead. Do this now via the new __cleanup(aes_zeroize_ctx) marker. Since __cleanup() and gotos should not be mixed in the same function, replace the gotos with early return statements, which is fine now that we dropped the memzero_explicit(&keys, sizeof(keys)) at the end.
