[posix] Addressing coverity warning: Resource leak

The "assert" and "VerifyOrDie" were checking same condition, so
the second validation was never executed if (rval != sizeof(key)).
Additionally,"aSwapFd" was not freed on assertion.

With this commit,
1. addressed the memory leak to system resources.
2. Replaced VerifyOrDie() or assert() by VerifyOrExit()
3. handle error at exit
