4.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Andrey Ryabinin <aryabinin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 2b95fda2c4fcb6d6625963f889247538f247fce0 upstream.

We shouldn't free cert->pub->key in x509_cert_parse() because
x509_free_certificate() also does this:
BUG: Double free or freeing an invalid pointer
