Subject: crypto: caam - improve initalization for context state saves

commit 6fd4b15603124c1b56e03db29b41ec39d8a077b9 upstream.

Multiple function in asynchronous hashing use a saved-state block,
a.k.a. struct caam_hash_state, which holds a stash of information
between requests (init/update/final). Certain values in this state
block are loaded for processing using an inline-if, and when this
is done, the potential for uninitialized data can pose conflicts.
Therefore, this patch improves initialization of state data to
prevent false assignments using uninitialized data in the state block.

This patch addresses the following traceback, originating in
ahash_final_ctx(), although a problem like this could certainly
exhibit other symptoms:
