libceph: make free_choose_arg_map() resilient to partial allocation

Browse source

commit e3fe30e576 upstream.

free_choose_arg_map() may dereference a NULL pointer if its caller fails
after a partial allocation.

For example, in decode_choose_args(), if allocation of arg_map->args
fails, execution jumps to the fail label and free_choose_arg_map() is
called. Since arg_map->size is updated to a non-zero value before memory
allocation, free_choose_arg_map() will iterate over arg_map->args and
dereference a NULL pointer.

To prevent this potential NULL pointer dereference and make
free_choose_arg_map() more resilient, add checks for pointers before
iterating.
