s3: modules: gluster. Fix the error I made in preventing talloc leaks from a function.
file_lines_parse() plays horrible tricks with the passed-in talloc pointers and the hierarcy which makes freeing hard to get right. As we know mem_ctx is freed by the caller, after calling file_lines_parse don't free on exit and let the caller handle it. This violates good Samba coding practice but we know we're not leaking here.
