I've looked into it, and it seems not to be required (as long as
auth_ntlmssp_state has the same lifetime as ntlmssp_state, which as far
as I can tell it does), but for clarity I'll move the allocations in
auth_ntlmssp_check_password() across.  I won't do the full change to
steal etc, because the code is a different structure here (not the new
common code). 

See this proposed patch, which passes 'make test' (I've not checked with
vagrind however).  

The original valgrind error showed up in a run Tridge did of source4 -
there we have 'session key' tests that check all the NTLMSSP flag
codepaths - but as this is (in master) common code I needed to tidy up
all the callers.
