This patch fixes incorrect calls to sframe_encoder_free in _bfd_elf_write_section_sframe, _bfd_s390_elf_write_sframe_plt, and _bfd_x86_elf_write_sframe_plt. Passing the address of a local variable instead of the actual context address to sframe_encoder_free can lead to double frees. The patch ensures that the correct context address is passed, preventing potential memory corruption.
