When we use hush to set the same nv.var twice to the empty string:

  $ nv.user=
  $ nv.user=

nv_set is called twice with a NULL val argument leading
to a double free and accompanied memory corruption.

Reorder the code, so p->value is freed just once.

Fixes: fa4c41ba60af ("nvvar: when setting a nvvar to NULL just free the 
content")
