dm ioctl: add flag to wipe buffers for secure data

Add DM_SECURE_DATA_FLAG which userspace can use to ensure
that all buffers allocated for dm-ioctl are wiped
immediately after use.

The user buffer is wiped as well (we do not want to keep
and return sensitive data back to userspace if the flag is set).

Wiping is useful for cryptsetup to ensure that the key
is present in memory only in defined places and only
for the time needed.

(For crypt, key can be present in table during load or table
status, wait and message commands).
