nvmet-auth: assign dh_key to NULL after kfree_sensitive

Vulnerability Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nvmet-auth: assign dh_key to NULL after kfree_sensitive ctrl->dh_key might be used across multiple calls to nvmet_setup_dhgroup() for the same controller.
