    tools/xenstore: create_node: Don't defer work to undo any changes on failure
    
    XSA-115 extended destroy_node() to update the node accounting for the
    connection. The implementation is assuming the connection is the parent
    of the node, however all the nodes are allocated using a separate context
    (see process_message()). This will result to crash (or corrupt) xenstored
    as the pointer is wrongly used.
    
    In case of an error, any changes to the database or update to the
    accounting will now be reverted in create_node() by calling directly
    destroy_node(). This has the nice advantage to remove the loop to unset
    the destructors in case of success.
    
    Take the opportunity to free the nodes right now as they are not
    going to be reachable (the function returns NULL) and are just wasting
    resources.
    
    This is XSA-414 / CVE-2022-42309.

creation")
