cpukit/libnetworking/libc/getifaddrs.c: Undefined behavior on freeing auto variable if NET_RT_IFLIST isn't defined

Description

The 'buf' variable in the getifaddrs function may be defined either as a pointer or as an array, depending on whether NET_RT_IFLIST is defined. However, we end up doing a free(buf) in both cases.

While this is FreeBSD code, we're maintaining it for now as an in-tree fork of the upstream so we should fix this.
