Add a DEFINE_FREE() clause for x509_certificate structs and use it in x509_cert_parse() and x509_key_preparse(). These are the only functions where scope-based x509_certificate allocation currently makes sense. A third user will be introduced with the forthcoming SPDM library (Security Protocol and Data Model) for PCI device authentication. Unlike most other DEFINE_FREE() clauses, this one checks for IS_ERR() instead of NULL before calling x509_free_certificate() at end of scope. That's because the "constructor" of x509_certificate structs, x509_cert_parse(), returns a valid pointer or an ERR_PTR(), but never NULL. Comparing the Assembler output before/after has shown they are identical, save for the fact that gcc-12 always generates two return paths when __cleanup() is used, one for the success case and one for the error case. In x509_cert_parse(), add a hint for the compiler that kzalloc() never returns an ERR_PTR(). Otherwise the compiler adds a gratuitous IS_ERR() check on return. Introduce an assume() macro for this which can be re-used elsewhere in the kernel to provide hints for the compiler.
