Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2 1/3] bpf/verifier: Fix potential memory leak in array reallocation

If an error (NULL) is returned by krealloc(), callers of realloc_array()
were setting their allocation pointers to NULL, but on error krealloc()
does not touch the original allocation. This would result in a memory
resource leak. Instead, free the old allocation on the error handling
path.
