Description
When using AES GCM encryption/decryption impl from SunPKCS11 provider, its native parameter structure contains Iv and AAD byte arrays which should be explicitly freed after use. Current impl only frees the mechanism structure and its generic parameter pointer. It should also free the algorithm specific pointers, i.e. iv and aad, inside the memory pointed to by the parameter pointer.

Fix request (8u) I'd like to have an approval for an 8u backport of this fix. The 8u release is affected by this bug. The patch does not apply cleanly but a review-approval has been granted here: https://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk8u-dev/2020-August/012585.html No regressions observed in sun/security/pkcs11 test category.
