[tor-commits] [tor/release-0.3.3] Fix a compiler warning in aes.c.

    Fix a compiler warning in aes.c.
    
    Apparently some freebsd compilers can't tell that 'c' will never
    be used uninitialized.
    
    Fixes bug 28413; bugfix on 0.2.9.3-alpha when we added support for
    longer AES keys to this function.
