_CheckSetDoodad() allocates doodad->text.text via _GetCountedString()
and then attempts to allocate doodad->text.font. If the font string
allocation fails (e.g. because the font string length extends past
the request boundary), the error handler frees doodad->text.text but
does not NULL the pointer. The doodad was already added to the geometry
by XkbAddGeomDoodad() before the string allocations, so when
XkbFreeGeometry() runs cleanup, _XkbClearDoodad() frees the same
dangling pointer again, resulting in a double-free.
NULL the pointer after freeing it to prevent the double-free.
