Subject: [PATCH] Fix leaks in kadmin server stubs [CVE-2015-8631]

In each kadmind server stub, initialize the client_name and
server_name variables, and release them in the cleanup handler.  Many
of the stubs will otherwise leak the client and server name if
krb5_unparse_name() fails.  Also make sure to free the prime_arg
variables in rename_principal_2_svc(), or we can leak the first one if
unparsing the second one fails.  Discovered by Simo Sorce.

CVE-2015-8631:

In all versions of MIT krb5, an authenticated attacker can cause
kadmind to leak memory by supplying a null principal name in a request
which uses one.  Repeating these requests will eventually cause
kadmind to exhaust all available memory.
