Subject: [PATCH] evmctl: fix memory leak in get_password
The variable "password" is not freed nor returned in case get_password()
succeeds. Return it instead of the intermediary variable "pwd". Issue found
by Coverity scan tool.
src/evmctl.c:2565: leaked_storage: Variable "password" going out of scope
leaks the storage it points to.
