[PATCH] Properly cache the result from looking up the nss databaseconfig

[Andreas Schwab <schwab at suse dot de>]

The last argument of __nss_database_lookup is supposed to be used as a
cache for the lookup result, but three callers do not properly make use
of it: they store it in a local variable instead of in the static one
that is defined for that purpose.  __nss_database_lookup is expecting to
be called only once for each database; if there is no config for a
database it reparses the default each time which allocates new memory
(though technically it's not a leak since it frees all of it at program
exit).

Andreas.

	[BZ #15048]
	* nscd/aicache.c (addhstaiX): Properly use the cache variable for
	the nss database lookup.
	* nscd/initgrcache.c (addinitgroupsX): Likewise.
	* sysdeps/posix/getaddrinfo.c (gaih_inet): Likewise.
