Don't worry, I fixed it for you.

The patch ad511e260a27b8e35d273cc0ecfe5a8ff9543181 (crypto: qat -
Fix incorrect uses of memzero_explicit) broke hashing because the
code was in fact overwriting the qat_auth_state variable.

In fact there is no reason for the variable to exist anyway since
all we are using it for is to store ipad and opad.  So we could
simply create ipad and opad directly and avoid this whole mess.

Ok that looks better. Thanks. I think we should also remove the
definition of struct qat_auth_state in line 107 and the #def above.
Regards,
Tadeusz
