As I have explained before, backporting this will introduce a double-free bug
in user apps unless their code are fixed, so it must not be done.

There's probably no need to go into such details, suggestion:

* cmdline: ``cmdline_stdin_exit()`` now frees the ``cmdline`` structure.
  Calls to ``cmdline_free()`` after it need to be deleted from applications.
