From: Vratislav Bendel <vbendel@redhat.com>

On error path from cond_read_list() and duplicate_policydb_cond_list()
the cond_list_destroy() gets called a second time in caller functions,
resulting in NULL pointer deref.
Fix this by resetting the cond_list_len to 0 in cond_list_destroy(),
making subsequent calls a noop.

Also consistently reset the cond_list pointer to NULL after freeing.

I just merged this into selinux/stable-5.17 and I'll plan on sending
this up to Linus tomorrow, thanks Vratislav.
