Log Message:
-----------
test/cmp_vfy_test.c: prevent memory leak in test_msg_check_update_malicious_sender

In test_msg_check_update_malicious_sender(), expected and actual
were allocated via X509_NAME_new() prior to SETUP_TEST_FIXTURE().
If set_up() failed, SETUP_TEST_FIXTURE() returned early, leaking
both allocated X509_NAME objects.

Defer allocation until after SETUP_TEST_FIXTURE(), initialize both
pointers to NULL, and allocate them safely within the TEST_ptr()
validation chain. On setup or validation failure, both pointers
and the test fixture are freed cleanly.
