If RadosClient::connect is called a second time (maybe after fixing an error condition), the Objecter allocated by the first call will be leaked.

librados: fix resources leakage in RadosClient::connect().

If RadosClient::connect was called a second time (which could
happen as a part of recovery from failure), the instances
of Objecter and Messenger allocated by the first call were leaked.

Additionally, the implementation of the method wrongly reported
memory allocation problems -- it throwed std::bad_alloc exception
instead of returning -ENOMEM error code.

I am attaching the first proposal of patch for your review.

Besides rectifying the Objecter leak, two additional things have been done in the body of RadosClient::connect method:

Switch from throwing variant of “new” to the non-throwing one. I think that handling memory allocation problems via std::bad_alloc exception was unintentional behavior, especially due to the usage of ENOMEM return code across the whole method. It might lead to stuck in CONNECTING state in some circumstances.
Leak of Messenger instance. The issue is very similar to the main problem so I am proposing to fix it together.

Could you please tell me about guard (objecter != NULL) on RadosClient::wait_for_osdmap method? Does the check need to base on assumption about objecter? Maybe the explicit state verification (like in other methods of the class) should be performed?
