boot: android: fix AvbOps and verify-data leaks in AVB path

run_avb_verification() allocates an AvbOps via avb_ops_alloc() but never
frees it on any return path. Every Android boot attempt therefore leaks
the AvbOpsData structure and, when CONFIG_OPTEE_TA_AVB is enabled, leaves
the OP-TEE session open (it is only closed inside avb_ops_free()).

In addition, the AvbSlotVerifyData returned by avb_slot_verify() is only
released on the failure branches. The successful "return 0" paths (both
the locked GREEN/OK case and the unlocked ORANGE/ERROR_VERIFICATION case)
return without freeing it, leaking the whole out_data (cmdline and loaded
partition metadata) on every good boot.

Route all exit paths through a single cleanup label that frees both
out_data and avb_ops.
