Subject: [PATCH v2 7/7] fs: HKDF - remove duplicate memory clearing
Date:   Sun, 24 Jan 2021 15:04:50 +0100

The clearing of the OKM memory buffer in case of an error is already
performed by the HKDF implementation crypto_hkdf_expand. Thus, the
code clearing is not needed any more in the file system code base.
