[PATCH] cryptodisk: Fix Coverity use after free bug

[Glenn Washburn <development@efficientek.com>]

The Coverity output is:

  *** CID 366905:  Memory - illegal accesses  (USE_AFTER_FREE)
  /grub-core/disk/cryptodisk.c: 1064 in grub_cryptodisk_scan_device_real()
  1058      cleanup:
  1059       if (askpass)
  1060         {
  1061           cargs->key_len = 0;
  1062           grub_free (cargs->key_data);
  1063         }
  >>>     CID 366905:  Memory - illegal accesses  (USE_AFTER_FREE)
  >>>     Using freed pointer "dev".
  1064       return dev;
  1065     }
  1066
  1067     #ifdef GRUB_UTIL
  1068     #include <grub/util/misc.h>
  1069     grub_err_t

Here the 'dev' variable can point to a freed cryptodisk device if the
function grub_cryptodisk_insert() fails. This can happen only on a OOM
condition, but when this happens grub_cryptodisk_insert() calls grub_free on
the passed device. Since grub_cryptodisk_scan_device_real() assumes that
grub_cryptodisk_insert() is always successful, it will return the device,
though the device was freed.

Change grub_cryptodisk_insert() to not free the passed device on failure.
Then on grub_cryptodisk_insert() failure, free the device pointer. This is
done by going to the label 'error', which will call cryptodisk_close() to
free the device and set the device pointer to NULL, so that a pointer to
freed memory is not returned.

Having reviewed the Coverity error, I believe this is the fix needed to resolve
the use after free reported by Coverity. However, I do not currently have
Coverity setup, so I don't have a way to test if this is both necessary and
sufficient to resolve the Coverity error. Regardess, I do believe that is does
fix a real use after free bug.
