neardal: lib: fix random memory corruption

This commit includes a neardal patch to fix
the random segfault seen on agl-service-nfc.

The problem (random memory corruption)
was due to invalid access to freed
memory on neardal library.

The proposed fix has been submitted upstream
and this commit is only a temporary measure
while the solution is not provided directly from
neardal repo.

+Subject: [PATCH] neardal: lib: fix memory corruption
+
+ The current commit fixes an invalid memory  access
+ which manifests as a random segfault  when executing
+ continuous tag read operations.
+
+ The corruption happens when releasing the  memory allocated to a
+ record: in the time between  the memory being g_free'd and the
+ subsequent memset  operation, the memory could have been reused by
+ some  other process. And since memory allocation  depends on
+ system-wide factors, it makes this bug hard to track.
+
+ Tested using ACR122U reader and NTAG213
+ tags on Automotive Grade Linux (flounder,
+ guppy and master branches)
