[PATCH 6.19 287/311] misc: fastrpc: possible double-free of cctx->remote_heap

commit ba2c83167b215da30fa2aae56b140198cf8d8408 upstream.

fastrpc_init_create_static_process() may free cctx->remote_heap on the
err_map path but does not clear the pointer. Later, fastrpc_rpmsg_remove()
frees cctx->remote_heap again if it is non-NULL, which can lead to a
double-free if the INIT_CREATE_STATIC ioctl hits the error path and the rpmsg
device is subsequently removed/unbound.
Clear cctx->remote_heap after freeing it in the error path to prevent the
later cleanup from freeing it again.

This issue was found by an in-house analysis workflow that extracts AST-based
information and runs static checks, with LLM assistance for triage, and was
confirmed by manual code review.
No hardware testing was performed.
