[PATCH v2 0/1] MR3013: wusa: Fix memory leak on error path in read_components (scan-build).

[Alex Henrie (＠alexhenrie)]

If read_identity returns FALSE, it has already called clear_identity.

This is the same problem as in merge request !2970. Unfortunately I did not notice at first that the problem was present in two places.

Whoops. I fixed the title, but I will have to come back to this when I have time to look at the other double frees you mentioned (hopefully later today). Thanks for the feedback.
