Subject: [PATCH] trusted keys: Fix a memory leak in trusted_update().

One failure path in security/keys/trusted_defined.c::trusted_update() does 
not free 'new_p' while the others do. This patch makes sure we also free 
it in the remaining path (if datablob_parse() returns different from 
Opt_update).
