[PATCH v4 4/9] crypto: stm32/cryp - fix xts and race condition in crypto_engine requests

Don't erase key:
If key is erased before the crypto_finalize_.*_request() call, some
pending process will run with a key={ 0 }.
Moreover if the key is reset at end of request, it breaks xts chaining
mode, as for last xts block (in case input len is not a multiple of
block) a new AES request is started without calling again set_key().

Fixes: 9e054ec21ef8 ("crypto: stm32 - Support for STM32 CRYP crypto module")
