I would rather merge a patch doing to kzfree -> kfree instead of doing
the middle step to switch it to kfree_sensitive. If it would help
integration of your patchset I can push it to the next rc so there are
no kzfree left in the btrfs code. Treewide change like that can take
time so it would be one less problem to care about for you.
