Subject: [PATCH] net: sctp: sctp_endpoint_free: zero out secret key data

commit b5c37fe6e24eec194bb29d22fdd55d73bcc709bf upstream.

On sctp_endpoint_destroy, previously used sensitive keying material
should be zeroed out before the memory is returned, as we already do
with e.g. auth keys when released.
