I don't think that this case can really be hit since this is for
HOSTAPD_ACL_PENDING, i.e., for the case where Access-Accept response has
not yet been received and as such, there is no ACL cache information or
these allocated copies of RADIUS attributes. Anyway, I can apply this to
get rid of static analyzer warnings. The commit message title will
change, though, since this is for hostapd and not really "possible" :).
