BUG/MINOR: ssl: Fix memory leak of find_chain in ssl_sock_load_cert_chain
The certificate chain that gets passed in the SSL_CTX through
SSL_CTX_set1_chain has its reference counter increased by OpenSSL
itself. But since the ssl_sock_load_cert_chain function might create a
brand new certificate chain if none exists in the ckch_data
(sk_X509_new_null), then we ended up returning a new certificate chain
to the caller that was never destroyed.
This patch can be backported to all stable branches but it might need to
be reworked for branches older than 2.4 because of commit ec805a32b9
that refactorized the modified code.
