Rich Felker 80e6485455 remove an extra layer of buffer copying in getnameinfo reverse dns
the outer getnameinfo function already has a properly-sized temporary
buffer for storing the reverse dns (ptr) result. there is no reason
for the callback to use a secondary buffer and copy it on success, and
doing so potentially expanded the impact of the dn_expand bug that was
fixed in commit 49d2c8c6bc.

this change reduces the code size by a small amount, and also reduces
the run-time stack space requirements by about 256 bytes.

    musl libc

musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.

The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.

For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
the project website:
