libsandbox: avoid leaking memory when extracting strings
If userland supports process_vm_readv, but the kernel does not (newer kernel headers & C lib than kernel), then we leak a bit of memory when we fallback to the ptrace code. Do not re-allocate the ret buffer if the code does fallback. Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>
