pf: avoid a shadowed variable in the pf_create_state() source limiter handling
the code that unwinds state creation when something fails needed
the pf_source variable at the function scope to be set, but this
was masked by a declaration in the scope that sets up the source
limiting. this results in a NULL deref in the unwind code when it
needs to clean up the accounting for a source limiter.
i found it funny that i left this comment for myself in the unwinding
code:
/* who needs KASSERTS when we have NULL derefs */
