Subject: lib/inflate: fix memory leak in inflate_fixed() on inflate_codes() failure
Date: Fri, 6 Mar 2026 16:16:12 +0000

When inflate_codes() fails in inflate_fixed(), only the length list 'l' is
freed, but the Huffman tables 'tl' and 'td' are leaked.  Add the missing
huft_free() calls on the error path.
