tipc: use kfree_sensitive() for aead cleanup
The tipc_aead_free() function currently uses kfree() to release the aead structure. However, this structure contains sensitive information, such as key's SALT value, which should be securely erased from memory to prevent potential leakage. To enhance security, replace kfree() with kfree_sensitive() when freeing the aead structure. This change ensures that sensitive data is explicitly cleared before memory deallocation, aligning with the approach used in tipc_aead_init() and adhering to best practices for handling confidential information.
