If we try to register the same name twice then kdbus_policy_add_one()
will fail with -EEXIST

In kdbus_policy_set() we have two calls to kdbus_policy_add_one() if
they fail we clean things up with kdbus_policy_entry_free(), but since
we failed ret == -EEXIST ,we hit the error path where we have another:

if (e)
        kdbus_policy_entry_free(e);

We have a use after free bug here, Since 'e' is freed but never set to
NULL.

To fix this we can set that 'e' to NULL after each
kdbus_policy_entry_free() call, but it is better to just clean things up
in a one place, in the error path and remove the other
kdbus_policy_entry_free() calls.

Thix fixes the bug triggered by test-kdbus-policy when we try to
register the same name twice.
