crypto: asymmetric_keys - fix uninitialized pointers with free attribute 

Uninitialized pointers with `__free` attribute can cause undefined
behavior as the memory assigned randomly to the pointer is freed
automatically when the pointer goes out of scope.

crypto/asymmetric_keys doesn't have any bugs related to this as of now,
but, it is better to initialize and assign pointers with `__free`
attribute in one statement to ensure proper scope-based cleanup
