[lttng-dev] [PATCH lttng-tools] Fix: consumer-stream: use-after-free of metadata bucket

When consumer_stream_destroy() is called from, for example, the error
path in setup_metadata(), consumer_stream_free() can end up being called
twice on the same stream.  Since the stream->metadata_bucket is not set
to NULL after being destroyed, it leads to a use-after-free:

 ERROR: AddressSanitizer: heap-use-after-free on address 0x604000000318
