[erlang-patches] Fix SSL ETS table element leak and error cleanup

[Ingela Anderton Andin]

Hi!

Thank you very much for your effort, however I have already included the 
reaming part of your patch in 17.0, writing a test case for it myself. 
It happened to become prioritized and we had not heard anything from you 
in a long time. I apologizes for the information not reaching the github 
pull-request immediately, I thought it had (a miss in internal routines, 
we will make sure it does not happen again).  If you had based your 
branch on master you would have seen it included, and I have thanked you 
in the release note for your participation.

Regards Ingela Erlang/OTP team - Ericsson AB
