r323314:
Audit userspace geom code for leaking memory to disk

Any geom class using g_metadata_store, as well as geom_virstor which
duplicated g_metadata_store internally, would dump sectorsize - mdsize bytes
of userspace memory following the metadata block stored. This is most or all
geom classes (gcache, gconcat, geli, gjournal, glabel, gmirror, gmultipath,
graid3, gshsec, gstripe, and geom_virstor).

r323338:
Fix information leak in geli(8) integrity mode

In integrity mode, a larger logical sector (e.g., 4096 bytes) spans several
physical sectors (e.g., 512 bytes) on the backing device. Due to hash
overhead, a 4096 byte logical sector takes 8.5625 512-byte physical sectors.
This means that only 288 bytes (256 data + 32 hash) of the last 512 byte
sector are used.

The memory allocation used to store the encrypted data to be written to the
physical sectors comes from malloc(9) and does not use M_ZERO.

Previously, nothing initialized the final physical sector backing each
logical sector, aside from the hash + encrypted data portion. So 224 bytes
of kernel heap memory was leaked to every block :-(.

This patch addresses the issue by initializing the trailing portion of the
physical sector in every logical sector to zeros before use. A much simpler
but higher overhead fix would be to tag the entire allocation M_ZERO.

r328849:
geom: don't write stack garbage in disk labels

Most consumers of g_metadata_store were passing in partially unallocated
memory, resulting in stack garbage being written to disk labels. Fix them by
zeroing the memory first.

gvirstor repeated the same mistake, but in the kernel.

Also, glabel's label contained a fixed-size string that wasn't
initialized to zero.
