3.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Milan Broz <[email protected]>

commit 1a71d6ffe18c0d0f03fc8531949cc8ed41d702ee upstream.

Use memzero_explicit to cleanup sensitive data allocated on stack
to prevent the compiler from optimizing and removing memset() calls.
