Hrm, it tolerates but it does return failure (-1) instead of success in
that case.

Literally nowhere in our code base actually checks the return value from
talloc_free, but nonetheless given that I think it would prefer to keep
the talloc_free where it is and therefore only pass a valid pointer to
it.
