When creating a pattern via `create_grep_pat()` we allocate the pattern member of the structure regardless of the token type. But later, when we try to free the structure, we free the pattern member conditionally on the token type and thus leak memory. Plug this leak. The leak is exposed by t7814, but plugging it alone does not make the whole test suite pass.
