[PATCH 2/2] xdiff/xprepare: fix a memory leak

The xdl_prepare_env() function may initialise an xdlclassifier_t data structure via xdl_init_classifier(), which allocates memory to several fields, for example 'rchash', 'rcrecs' and 'ncha'. If this function later exits due to the failure of xdl_optimize_ctxs(), then this xdlclassifier_t structure, and the memory allocated to it, is not cleaned up.

In order to fix the memory leak, insert a call to xdl_free_classifier() before returning.
