net/dns: Fix double-free addresses on corrupt DNS response

grub_net_dns_lookup() takes as inputs a pointer to an array of addresses
("addresses") for the given name, and pointer to a number of addresses
("naddresses"). grub_net_dns_lookup() is responsible for allocating
"addresses", and the caller is responsible for freeing it if
"naddresses" > 0.

The DNS recv_hook will sometimes set and free the addresses array,
for example if the packet is too short:

      if (ptr + 10 >= nb->tail)
	{
	  if (!*data->naddresses)
	    grub_free (*data->addresses);
	  grub_netbuff_free (nb);
	  return GRUB_ERR_NONE;
	}

Later on the nslookup command code unconditionally frees the "addresses"
array. Normally this is fine: the array is either populated with valid
data or is NULL. But in these sorts of error cases it is neither NULL
nor valid and we get a double-free.

Only free "addresses" if "naddresses" > 0.

It looks like the other use of grub_net_dns_lookup() is not affected.
