Zero memory in CRYPTO_secure_malloc.
This commit destroys the free list pointers which would otherwise be present in the returned memory blocks. This in turn helps prevent information leakage from the secure memory area. Note: CRYPTO_secure_malloc is not guaranteed to return zeroed memory: before the secure memory system is initialised or if it isn't implemented.
