dm-verity: fix a memory leak if some arguments are specified multiple times

    dm-verity: fix a memory leak if some arguments are specified multiple times

    If some of the arguments "check_at_most_once", "ignore_zero_blocks",
    "use_fec_from_device", "root_hash_sig_key_desc" were specified more than
    once on the target line, a memory leak would happen.

    This commit fixes the memory leak. It also fixes error handling in
    verity_verify_sig_parse_opt_args.
