Well, if no function is allowed to leak memory on
talloc_tos(), then we should get rid of talloc_tos() at all.
Not having to pass an explicit temporary talloc context was
the whole point of it. If that defined and intended memory
leak is generally seen as a bug, talloc_stackframe() needs
to go because it was intended to enable it.
