  ovpn_crypto_kill_key assumes both crypto slots are populated and
dereferences each slot before checking it. That is not guaranteed: a
peer can have only one installed key, and the kill path may be asked to
remove a key that is not present.

Read each slot once while holding the crypto state lock, check for NULL
before looking at key_id, and only replace the slot that actually
matches.

Fixes: 89d3c0e4612a ("ovpn: kill key and notify userspace in case of IV exhaustion")

- Remove unnecessary braces around single-statement if/else branches.
