Rename kfree() to kfree_sensitive() to  make the intention of the API
more explicit.

fixed the following coccicheck:
./drivers/crypto/allwinner/sun8i-ce/sun8i-ce-prng.c:30:16-17: WARNING
opportunity for kfree_sensitive/kvfree_sensitive (memset at line 29)
./drivers/crypto/allwinner/sun8i-ce/sun8i-ce-prng.c:42:16-17: WARNING
opportunity for kfree_sensitive/kvfree_sensitive (memset at line 41)
./drivers/crypto/allwinner/sun8i-ce/sun8i-ce-prng.c:161:8-9: WARNING
opportunity for kfree_sensitive/kvfree_sensitive (memset at line 109)
