"head" is not leaking, as a pointer to it is head in a location that
is still in scope (namely, a file-scope global variable) when the
program exits.
In fact, the only thing the code before or after this patch does
after leaving this top-level if/elseif/else cascade is to return 0
and doing nothing else. Inserting free(head) would be an unneeded
distraction for human developers (doing such a patch, reviewing, and
even worse, having to read the resulting code in the coming years)
and waste of computer resources (exiting the process will reclaim
such a piece of memory just fine).
