Fix internal memory leaks from OPENSSL_MALLOC_FAILURES
There is a rarely used feature that can be enabled with `./config enable-crypto-mdebug` when additionally the environment variable OPENSSL_MALLOC_FAILURES is used. It turns out to be possible that CRYPTO_zalloc may create a leak when the memory is allocated and then the shouldfail happens, then the memory is lost. Likewise when OPENSSL_realloc is used with size=0, then the memory is to be free'd but here the shouldfail check is too early, and the failure may prevent the memory to be freed thus creating a bogus memory leak.
