through and through_and causes a double free if the map function panics

through and through_and take a mutable reference as well as a mapping function to change the provided reference. They do this by calling ptr::read on the reference which duplicates ownership and then calling the mapping function.

If the mapping function panics, both the original object and the one duplicated by ptr::read get dropped, causing a double free.
