All the io_alloc() implementation unconditionally allocated
new memory, thus leaking memory if called more then once.
Fix io_alloc() implementations not to allocate new memory
if not needed.
This happens for example in link_msg_parser() which first
calls rtnl_link_set_type():

Controller Area Network (CAN) is a networking technology which has
widespread use in automation, embedded devices and automotive fields.
The socket-CAN package is an implementation of CAN protocols for Linux.
All socket-CAN related configurations are carried out through Netlink.
Add basic socket-CAN support to libnl to be able to configure CAN devices
with libnl.
