If CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER is defined and len is not -1, need_buff is 1, then
will malloc buffer and assign return value to buff.
But we only free buff, when CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER is not defined and need_buff is 1.
So I think this may leaks memory.

I am not familar with HUSH PARSER internal. If it can handle the upper case that
I described, then no need this patch.

Peng.
