Description: Avoid null dereference in initialize_password_db() When initialize_password_db() is called with reload=True, it's assumed that the free_private_data member of pdb_methods is non-null. This is not necessarily the case, as the tdb backend has no private data and therefore no free function. Check to see if we have private data that needs freed before calling.
