[linux-lvm] [PATCH] toolcontext: fix double free (core dumped) issue

[Heming Zhao]

How to trigger:

```
~ # export LVM_SYSTEM_DIR=_
~ # pvscan
  No matching physical volumes found
double free or corruption (!prev)
Aborted (core dumped)
```

when LVM_SYSTEM_DIR is empty, _load_config_file() won't be called.

when LVM_SYSTEM_DIR is not empty, cfl->cft links into cmd->config_files
by _load_config_file()@lib/commands/toolcontext.c

core dumped code: _destroy_config()@lib/commands/toolcontext.c

```
    /* CONFIG_FILE/CONFIG_MERGED_FILES */
    if ((cft = remove_config_tree_by_source(cmd, CONFIG_MERGED_FILES)))
        config_destroy(cft);
    else if ((cft = remove_config_tree_by_source(cmd, CONFIG_FILE)))
        config_destroy(cft); <=== first free the cft

    dm_list_iterate_items(cfl, &cmd->config_files)
        config_destroy(cfl->cft); <=== double free the cft
```
