Subject: [PATCH 2/2] install-xattr: fix small memory leak

There's another with strdup/malloc but it gets a bit messier
to fix so let's leave that for now (this is mostly about correctness
anyway, as the runtime of install-xattr is very small):
```
Direct leak of 4097 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from:
    #0 0x7f4a2c22e257 in __interceptor_malloc /usr/src/debug/sys-devel/gcc-13.0.0_pre20230101/gcc-13-20230101/libsanitizer/asan/asan_malloc_linux.cpp:69
    #1 0x7f4a2c1d2b40 in __interceptor_realpath /usr/src/debug/sys-devel/gcc-13.0.0_pre20230101/gcc-13-20230101/libsanitizer/sanitizer_common/sanitizer_common_interceptors.inc:3904
    #2 0x55da3adf5629 in realpath /usr/include/bits/stdlib.h:42
    #3 0x55da3adf5629 in main /home/sam/git/elfix/install-xattr.c:252
```
