This fixes issue #2535, that was actually an hiredis library bug (I submitted an issue and fix to the redis/hiredis repo as well). When an asynchronous hiredis connection subscribes to a Pub/Sub channel and gets an error, and in other related conditions, the function redisProcessCallbacks() enters a code path where the link is disconnected, however the function returns before freeing the allocated reply object. This causes a memory leak. The memory leak was trivial to trigger in Redis Sentinel, which uses hiredis, every time we tried to subscribe to an instance that required a password, in case the Sentinel was configured either with the wrong password or without password at all. In this case, the -AUTH error caused the leaking code path to be executed. It was verified with Valgrind that after this change the leak no longer happens in Sentinel with a misconfigured authentication password.
