This series fixes potential NULL pointer dereferences in YNL-generated C
code during dump list freeing and memory allocation parsing/setters.

Testing:
- Regenerated all c headers/sources under tools/net/ynl/generated/
- Built libynl, ynltool, and test binaries without errors or warnings
- Ran make target run_tests in tools/net/ynl/tests successfully
- Ran tools/testing/selftests/drivers/net/psp.py in QEMU x86_64
  successfully

  tools: ynl: check for null ptr on dump free
  tools: ynl: check malloc/calloc fails in generated code
