crypto: clear out buffer after timing pbkdf algorithm
The 'out' buffer will hold a key derived from master password, so it is best practice to clear this buffer when no longer required. At this time, the code isn't worrying about locking buffers into RAM to prevent swapping sensitive data to disk. Reviewed-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
