[dpdk-stable] [PATCH] crypto/qat: fix uninitilized compiler warning

In Arm platform, when "RTE_ARCH_ARM64_MEMCPY" is set as true, compiler
will report variable uninitilized warning:

../drivers/crypto/qat/qat_sym_session.c: In function ‘partial_hash_compute’:
../lib/eal/include/generic/rte_byteorder.h:241:24: warning:
‘<U35a0>’ may be used uninitialized in this function
	[-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
	241 | #define rte_bswap32(x) __builtin_bswap32(x)
	...

This is because "digest" will be initialized by "rte_memcpy" function
rather than "memcpy" if "RTE_ARCH_ARM64_MEMCPY" is set as true. However,
compiler cannot know it is initialized by the function.

To fix this, use "calloc" to initialize "digest".
