Fix crash when system has no ipv6 address [BZ #17125]
Here's an updated patch to fix the crash in bug-ga2 when the system has no configured ipv6 address. I have taken a different approach of using libc_freeres_fn instead of the libc_freeres_ptr since the former gives better control over what is freed; we need that since cache may or may not be allocated using malloc. Verified that bug-ga2 works correctly in both cases and does not have memory leaks in either of them.
