Changed my mind on this one after going through the other patches..
Since I cannot figure out how this could happen (HOSTAPD_ACL_PENDING
indicates Access-Accept has not yet been received and as such, these
copies of the attributes from that message cannot exists). Adding these
freeing operations here would make this quite confusing. As such, I'm
going to drop this unless someone can describe how these could be
non-NULL.
