    tools/xenstored: Harden corrupt()
    
    At the moment, corrupt() is neither checking for allocation failure
    nor freeing the allocated memory.
    
    Harden the code by printing ENOMEM if the allocation failed and
    free 'str' after the last use.
    
    This is not considered to be a security issue because corrupt() should
    only be called when Xenstored thinks the database is corrupted. Note
    that the trigger (i.e. a guest reliably provoking the call) would be
    a security issue.
    
    Fixes: 06d17943f0cd ("Added a basic integrity checker, and some basic 
ability to recover from store")
