[PATCH v3 09/27] attr.c: plug small leak in parse_attr_line()

From
BWBrandon Williams <bmwill@google.com>
Date
Jan 28, 2017, 02:01 UTC
Message-ID
<20170128020207.179015-10-bmwill@google.com>
In-Reply-To
<20170128020207.179015-1-bmwill@google.com>
From: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

If any error is noticed after the match_attr structure is allocated, we shouldn't just return NULL from this function.

Add a fail_return label that frees the allocated structure and returns NULL, and consistently jump there when we want to return NULL after cleaning up.
