Thomas Haller d060b7b379 shared: avoid invoking g_free() with NULL from gs_free cleanup attribute
In general, it's fine to pass %NULL to g_free().

However, consider:

    char *
    foo (void)
    {
        gs_free char *value = NULL;

        value = g_strdup ("hi");
        return g_steal_pointer (&value);
    }

gs_free, gs_local_free(), and g_steal_pointer() are all inlinable.
Here the compiler can easily recognize that we always pass %NULL to
g_free(). But with the previous implementation, the compiler would
not omit the call to g_free().

Similar patterns happen all over the place:

    gboolean
    baz (void)
    {
        gs_free char *value = NULL;

        if (!some_check ())
            return FALSE;

        value = get_value ();
        if (!value)
            return FALSE;

        return TRUE;
    }

in this example, g_free() is only required after setting @value to
non-NULL.

Note that this does increase the binary side a bit (4k for libnm, 8k
for NetworkManager, with "-O2").
