    Fix KDC null deref on bad encrypted challenge
    
    The function ec_verify() in src/kdc/kdc_preauth_ec.c contains a check
    to avoid further processing if the armor key is NULL.  However, this
    check is bypassed by a call to k5memdup0() which overwrites retval
    with 0 if the allocation succeeds.  If the armor key is NULL, a call
    to krb5_c_fx_cf2_simple() will then dereference it, resulting in a
    crash.  Add a check before the k5memdup0() call to avoid overwriting
    retval.
    
    CVE-2021-36222:
    
    In MIT krb5 releases 1.16 and later, an unauthenticated attacker can
    cause a null dereference in the KDC by sending a request containing a
    PA-ENCRYPTED-CHALLENGE padata element without using FAST.
