crypto: x509 - Replace kmalloc() + NUL-termination with kzalloc()
Use kzalloc() to zero out the one-element array instead of using kmalloc() followed by a manual NUL-termination. No functional changes intended. Signed-off-by: Thorsten Blum <thorsten.blum@linux.dev> Reviewed-by: Lukas Wunner <lukas@wunner.de> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
