[PATCH] D-Bus: Fix memory leak when using array of array of bytes

From: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre at intel.com>

When parsing a dict entry which is an array of an array of bytes the entry
representing the dict entry has DBUS_TYPE_ARRAY as its type and
WPAS_DBUS_TYPE_ARRAY as its array_type. The function freeing this parsed
data incorrectly tested the entry type for WPAS_DBUS_TYPE_ARRAY while doing
no testing of this value for array_type. This results in a memory leak
whenever a D-Bus message with this type of data is parsed.

Messages affected are:
fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1.Interface.P2PDevice
	using RequestedDeviceTypes with Find method
	using SecondaryDeviceTypes or VendorExtension with P2PDeviceProperties

fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1.Group
	using WPSVendorExtensions with Properties property

All of the above messages are parsed with the same function,
wpa_dbus_dict_get_entry, so the assignment of the entry's type and
array_type is consistent. The parsed data is also consistently freed with
the same function, wpa_dbus_dict_entry_clear, so we can use the same checks
to free the data correctly.
