Bug#19145712 USER AFTER FREE / DOUBLE FREE ISSUE

      
      Problem: A corrupted header length in FORMAT_DESCRIPTION_LOG_EVENT
      can cause server to crash.
      Analysis: FORMAT_DESCRIPTION_EVENT will be considered invalid if
      header len is too small (i.e. below OLD_HEADER_LEN).
      
      Format_description_log_event:: Format_description_log_event(...)
      {
        ...
        if ((common_header_len=buf[ST_COMMON_HEADER_LEN_OFFSET]) < OLD_HEADER_LEN)
          DBUG_VOID_RETURN; /* sanity check */
        ...
        post_header_len= my_memdup(...)
      }
      
      In that case Format_description_log_event constructor will return early,
      without allocating any memory for post_header_len. Thence this variable is
      left uninitialized and making server to crash when server is trying
      to free the uninitialized value.
      
      Fix: When Format_description_log_event constructor returns early, assign
      NULL to post_header_len.
