hkdf_expand: explicitly initialize t

t is never used uninitialized, since the first loop iteration reads 0
bytes of it and then writes hash_len bytes, and subsequent iterations
read and write hash_len bytes. However this is somewhat fragile, and
it would be legitimate for a static analyzer to be unsure.

Initialize t explicitly, to make the code clearer and more robust, at
negligible cost.

with a slightly different fix.
