... `gnutls_hmac_output` also promises to reset the state, and I don't see that happening. A `digest=NULL` call would get silently swallowed in `_gnutls_mac_output`, and I'm not even sure how does one reach this function with `digest=NULL`.
* Why do we need this?
* Should it actually do something on the kcapi level instead?
* Do we need a similar round of fixes for lib/accelerated/*/hmac*?
