[Buildroot] [PATCH v2 2/5] package/libssh2: fix CVE-2026-66032

[Stefan Mueller via buildroot <buildroot@buildroot.org>]

From: Stefan Müller <stefan.mueller@rey-technology.com>

Backport the fix for CVE-2026-66032.

A SFTP error path can leave a dangling pointer after freeing the
response buffer, which may result in a double free on subsequent error
handling.

Use Debian's libssh2 1.11.1 backport of the upstream fix.
