Why are we clearing ? Is that just to tidy up or is it of security
importance ?

If so, maybe memzero_explicit() should be used instead ?

No new 'extern' please.

If we leave it there, attackers can still find the kernel object very
easy, it's still dangerous especially if without
CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX enabled.
