Subject: [PATCH] ifconfig: fix double free fatal error in INET_sprint

Derived from:
http://git.busybox.net/busybox/commit/?id=a97777889328157bb7d06ec618bad16712a9c345.

While INET_sprint or INET6_sprint is called circularly by keeping
ifconfiging, sap->sa_family would be cleaned by other parallel processes
such as dhclient sometimes, and then there would be a double free error
like the following:

  *** glibc detected *** ifconfig: double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x000a6008 ***
  ======= Backtrace: =========
  /lib/libc.so.6(+0x6bc84)[0x40133c84]

  000a3000-000a4000 rw-p 00093000 1f:05 444328     /bin/busybox

This patch moved free() two lines down to address this problem.
