    PR30828, notes obstack memory corruption
    
    Commit 3bab069c29b3 carelessly allowed "string" to be released from
    the notes obstack twice, with the second call to obstack_free
    releasing memory for a fixup that just happened to be the same size as
    the original string.  The fixup then of course was overwritten.
    This patch fixes that problem, and another that could occur on an
    error path.
    
            PR 30828
            * stabs.c (s_stab_generic): Don't free string twice.  Don't
            blow away entire notes obstack on a missing string.
