[BlueZ, v4 2/9] sdp-xml: Fix crash caused by type confusion when parsing crafted SDP XML

When element_end() processes </attribute>, it frees ctx_data->stack_head
and clears the stack even if parsing is still nested inside a parent
container.

If a crafted ServiceRecord places a nested <attribute> inside <sequence>,
a later sibling scalar element such as <uint64> can become the new stack
head. When the closing </sequence> is then processed, compute_seq_size()
is reached without first validating that the current node is actually
a sequence.

sdp_data_t.val stores both scalar members such as uint64 and the
dataseq pointer in the same union. As a result, attacker-controlled
scalar data can be reinterpreted as a linked-list pointer and traversed
until bluetoothd crashes.
