ssl: Don't use uninitialized variable in verify_subject()

If verify_subject() is called with a SpiceOpenSSLVerify struct containing a
non-NULL 'in_subject' member, it would try to use the local 'in_entries'
variable without having initialized it first. This could happen if
verify_subject() was called multiple time with the same SpiceOpenSSLVerify
context, which probably isn't occurring the way we are using it.

However, since verify_subject() is the only method which needs in_subject,
we don't need to have it stored in SpiceOpenSSLVerify, and we can
recreate it as needed locally in that method, which avoids that issue.
