list via CPTData::next, freeing every element before freeing the prefix itself;
preserve the existing behavior when prefix_data is null.

The pointer returned by
CPTCreatePrefixis handled incorrectly in theCPTAddElementfunction. I have applied fixes and introducedCPTFreePrefixas a companion toCPTCreatePrefix, so the prefix allocation and deallocation logic is no longer scattered across multiple files.Correction based on the Svace report in my company.
