  Fix a possible memleak in bind_afalg

bind_afalg calls afalg_aes_cbc which allocates
cipher_handle->_hidden global object(s)
but if one of them fails due to out of memory,
the function bind_afalg relies on the engine destroy
method to be called.  But that does not happen
because the dynamic engine object is not destroyed
in the usual way in dynamic_load in this case:

If the bind_engine function fails, there will be no
further calls into the shared object.
See ./crypto/engine/eng_dyn.c near the comment:
/* Copy the original ENGINE structure back */
