Prepare to free() memory associated with bitmapped_commit structs by zero'ing the 'write_as' field. In ideal cases, it is fine to do something like: for (i = 0; i < writer->selected_nr; i++) { struct bitmapped_commit *bc = &writer->selected[i]; if (bc->write_as != bc->bitmap) ewah_free(bc->write_as); ewah_free(bc->bitmap); } but if not all of the 'write_as' fields were populated (e.g., because the packing_data given does not form a reachability closure), then we may attempt to free uninitialized memory. Guard against this by preemptively zero'ing this field just in case.
