[PATCH] tee: fix uninitialized pointers with free attr

From: Ally Heev

Date: Wed Nov 05 2025 - 09:20:35 EST


Uninitialized pointers with `__free` attribute can cause undefined
behaviour as the memory assigned(randomly) to the pointer is freed
automatically when the pointer goes out of scope

tee doesn't have any bugs related to this as of now, but
it is better to initialize and assign pointers with `__free` attr
in one statement to ensure proper scope-based cleanup
