Observed issue
==============
When consumer_stream_destroy() is called from, for example, the error
path in setup_metadata(), consumer_stream_free() can end up being called
twice on the same stream. Since the stream->metadata_bucket is not set
to NULL after being destroyed, it leads to a use-after-free:

SUMMARY: AddressSanitizer: heap-use-after-free in metadata_bucket_destroy
This can be easily reproduced by forcing a failure during the setup
of the metadata reproducible using the following change:

Cause
=====
Channels have a list of streams that are being "setup" and are not
yet monitored for consumption. During this setup phase, the streams are
owned by the channel. On destruction of the channel, any stream in that
list will thus be cleaned-up.
When destroying a consumer stream, a reference to its channel is 'put'.
This can result in the destruction of the channel.
In the situation described above, the release of the channel's reference
is done before the stream is removed from the channel's stream list.
This causes the channel's clean-up to invoke (again) the current
stream's clean-up, resulting in the double-free of the metadata bucket.
This problem is present in a number of error paths.
Solution
========
Some error paths already manually removed the consumer stream from it's
channel's stream list before invoking consumer_stream_destroy(). The
various error paths that have to deal with this possible situation are
changed to simply invoke consumer_stream_destroy().
consumer_stream_destroy() is modified to always remove the stream from
its channel's list before performing the rest of the clean-up. This
ensures that those double clean-ups can't occur.
Drawbacks
=========
None.
