CreateECPublicKey creates a SECKEYPublicKey allocated on a scoped arena. It then calls CryptoKey::PublicKeyValid, which has the side-effect of importing the key to the internal PKCS#11 slot. When the arena goes out of scope, the memory for the key is released, but the reference to the slot isn't, causing a leak. (This can be reproduced by running `NSPR_LOG_MODULES=pipnss:5 ./mach xpcshell-test dom/push/test/xpcshell/test_notification_data.js` and observing the string "NSS SHUTDOWN FAILURE" in the output.)
