[PATCH 3/3] grep: avoid leak of chartables in PCRE2

From
Carlo Marcelo Arenas Belón <carenas@gmail.com>
Date

Message-ID
<20190806085014.47776-4-carenas@gmail.com>

94da9193a6 ("grep: add support for PCRE v2", 2017-06-01) introduced a small memory leak visible with valgrind in t7813.

Complete the creation of a PCRE2 specific variable that was missing from the original change and free the generated table just like it is done for PCRE1.
