[syslog-ng] [PATCH] value-pairs: Fix a double free on parse errors

In the command-line parser code, when we encountered an error, we
explicitly free'd the value-pairs structure, but did not return. A few
lines later, we called vp_cmdline_parse_rekey_finish(), which also tried
to free the same structure.

Instead, we should only call _rekey_finish() if we didn't NULL out the
value pairs structure earlier.
