Please disregard this patch -- it duplicates Bryam Vargas's
"nvmet-auth: zero the AUTH_RECEIVE response buffer"
(https://lore.kernel.org/linux-nvme/20260702-b4-disp-127414cf-v1-1-e5395cc0f9ae@proton.me/),
which fixes the same uninitialized-memory leak with the same
kmalloc() -> kzalloc() change and the same Fixes: tag, and already has
Christoph's Reviewed-by. I missed it before sending; sorry for the
noise.
