Use temp pointer for realloc()

If realloc() fails, it returns NULL and the original block is
left untouched; it is not freed. Use a temporary pointer first to
check, if realloc() has failed.

- Fixes the following Cppcheck errors:
  [src/rrd_create.c:958] (error) Common realloc mistake: 'mappings'
    nulled but not freed upon failure [memleakOnRealloc]
  [src/rrd_create.c:2451] (error) Common realloc mistake: 'candidates'
    nulled but not freed upon failure [memleakOnRealloc]
  [src/rrd_daemon.c:2402] (error) Common realloc mistake: 'sources'
    nulled but not freed upon failure [memleakOnRealloc]
