Memset() is currently used for the buffer clearing. However, it is entirely possible that the compiler may choose to optimize away the memory clearing especially if LTO is being used. To make sure that this optimization will not happen, memzero_explicit(), which is introduced in v3.18, is now used in kzfree() to do the clearing.
