bpf, verifier: Fix memory leak in array reallocation for stack state

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bpf, verifier: Fix memory leak in array reallocation for stack state

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.

The memory leak information is as follows as also reported by Zhengchao:

  unreferenced object 0xffff888019801800 (size 256):
  comm "bpf_repo", pid 6490, jiffies 4294959200 (age 17.170s)

CWE-401 Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime

The product does not sufficiently track and release allocated memory after it has been used, making the memory unavailable for reallocation and reuse.
