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]
  /lib/libc.so.6(cfree+0x94)[0x40138684]
  ifconfig[0x1c460]
  ifconfig[0x1c6a0]
  ifconfig[0x1ccf4]
  ifconfig[0x187c8]
  ifconfig[0xd544]
  ifconfig[0xd5dc]
  ifconfig[0xdca8]
  /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0x110)[0x400df258]
  ======= Memory map: ========
  00008000-0009c000 r-xp 00000000 1f:05 444328     /bin/busybox
  000a3000-000a4000 rw-p 00093000 1f:05 444328     /bin/busybox

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