[PATCH] selinux: fix another double free

Clang static analysis reports this double free error

security/selinux/ss/conditional.c:139:2: warning: Attempt to free released memory [unix.Malloc]
kfree(node->expr.nodes);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When cond_read_node fails, it calls cond_node_destroy which frees the
node but does not poison the entry in the node list. So when it
returns to its caller cond_read_list, cond_read_list deletes the
partial list. The latest entry in the list will be deleted twice.

So instead of freeing the node in cond_read_node, let list freeing in
code_read_list handle the freeing the problem node along with all of the the
earlier nodes.
