[PATCH 2/2] _gcry_burn_stack: use memset for clearing memory

[Jussi Kivilinna]

* src/misc.c (__gcry_burn_stack) [HAVE_VLA]: Use 'memset' for clearing
stack.
--

Patch switches stacking burning to use faster memset instead of
wipememory. Memset is accessed through volatile function pointer,
so that compiler will not optimize away the call.
