Free small client memory leak on OTP failure

When an initial credentials request using FAST OTP fails due to a
rejection from the KDC, otp_client_prep_questions() may be called
during the processing of the PREAUTH_FAILED response, due to a minor
malfunction in the preauth logic (to be fixed separately).  When this
happens the OTP challenge in the PREAUTH_FAILED padata is decoded into
modreq, overwriting and leaking the decoded challenge from the
PREAUTH_REQUIRED response.

Although we don't expect multiple otp_client_prep_questions() calls
when the preauth logic is behaving properly, it could still happen due
to unexpected KDC behavior (such as a MORE_PREAUTH_DATA_REQUIRED
response).  Fix the leak in otp_client_prep_questions() so that it
isn't admitted under any KDC behavior.
