Since kfree_sensitive() will do an implicit memzero_explicit(), there
is no need to call memzero_explicit() before it. Eliminate those
memzero_explicit() and simplify the call sites. For better correctness,
the setting of keylen is also moved down after the key pointer check.

Does it matter at all to ensure op->keylen is not set when of->key is 
NULL ? I'm not sure.

But if it does, then op->keylen should be set to 0 when freeing op->key.

My thinking is that if memory allocation fails, we just don't touch
anything and return an error code. I will not explicitly set keylen to 0
in this case unless it is specified in the API documentation.

You already freed the key by now so not touching anything is not
possible. The key is set to NULL on allocation failure so setting keylen
to 0 should be redundant. However, setting keylen to 0 is consisent with
not having a key, and it avoids the possibility of leaking the length
later should that ever cause any problem.

OK, I can change it to clear the key length when the allocation failed
which isn't likely.

Perhaps:

	kfree_sensitive(op->key);
	op->key = NULL;
	op->keylen = 0;

but I don't know that it impacts any possible state.
