prevent leak of class name from retrieve_hook() on an exception
If supplied with a large class name, retrieve_hook() allocates buffer for the class name and Safefree()s it on exit path. Unfortunately this memory leaks if load_module() (or a couple of other code paths) throw an exception. So use SAVEFREEPV() to release the memory instead. ==20183== 193 bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 4 of 6 ==20183== at 0x4C28C20: malloc (in /usr/lib/valgrind/vgpreload_memcheck-amd64-linux.so) ==20183== by 0x55F85D: Perl_safesysmalloc (util.c:153) ==20183== by 0x6ACA046: retrieve_hook (Storable.xs:4265) ==20183== by 0x6AD6D19: retrieve (Storable.xs:6217) ==20183== by 0x6AD8144: do_retrieve (Storable.xs:6401) ==20183== by 0x6AD85B7: pretrieve (Storable.xs:6506) ==20183== by 0x6AD8E14: XS_Storable_pretrieve (Storable.xs:6718) ==20183== by 0x5C176D: Perl_pp_entersub (pp_hot.c:4227) ==20183== by 0x55E1C6: Perl_runops_debug (dump.c:2450) ==20183== by 0x461B79: S_run_body (perl.c:2528) ==20183== by 0x46115C: perl_run (perl.c:2451) ==20183== by 0x41F1CD: main (perlmain.c:123)
