`cros_typec_get_switch_handles` allocates four pointers when obtaining
type-c switch handles. These pointers are all freed if failing to obtain
any of them; therefore, pointers in `port` become stale. The stale
pointers eventually cause use-after-free or double free in later code
paths. Zeroing out all pointer fields after freeing to eliminate these
stale pointers.

Hey Tzung-Bi, it looks like you've already created a tag for the
v6.2 pull request, so I don't know if it's too late to apply this
for the current dev cycle.
So, I've not applied it, but have left the Acked-by tag.

Please feel free to apply it if there's still room for it before
you send out the pull request.

Thanks!

Given that the patch fixes an use-after-free, let's include this in the
coming merge window.  Have queued.
