nvme-fabrics: use kfree_sensitive() for DHCHAP secrets

Browse source

The DHCHAP secrets (dhchap_secret and dhchap_ctrl_secret) contain
authentication key material for NVMe-oF. Use kfree_sensitive() instead
of kfree() in nvmf_free_options() to ensure secrets are zeroed before
the memory is freed, preventing recovery from freed pages.
