Prevent double free with invalid verity partition.

Browse Source 
It is possible to trigger a double free with an invalid verity
partition. All it takes is an unknown hash algorithm, which makes it
a bit more likely than a completely broken partition header. But all
it takes is an error return value of VERITY_read_sb() or strdup().

If crypt_load fails before setting cd->type, crypt_free will handle
the union as if it was of type "none", which means it will call free()
for "active_name", a field which is only properly set up when the
type was actually "none".

In all other cases, "active_name" contains the first 4 or 8 bytes of
the actually used header structure. Fortunately it can be only a
pointer or NULL, so an attacker has no direct control of the value.
Nonetheless it can easily trigger a double free.
