In http-push's finish_request(), if we fail a loose object request we
may fall back to trying a packed request. But if we do so, we leave the
http_loose_object_request in place, leaking it.
We can fix this by always cleaning it up. Note that the obj_req pointer
here (which we'll set to NULL) is a copy of the request->userData
pointer, which will now point to freed memory. But that's OK. We'll
either release the parent request struct entirely, or we'll convert it
into a packed request, which will overwrite userData itself.
This leak is found by t5540, but it's not quite leak-free yet.
