    Fix use of half-initialized result in getaddrinfo when using nscd (bug
16743)

    This fixes a bug in the way the results from __nscd_getai are collected:
    for every returned result a new entry is first added to the
    gaih_addrtuple list, but if that result doesn't match the request this
    entry remains uninitialized.  So for this non-matching result an extra
    result with uninitialized content is returned.

    To reproduce (with nscd running):

        $ getent ahostsv4 localhost
        127.0.0.1       STREAM localhost
        127.0.0.1       DGRAM
        127.0.0.1       RAW
        (null)          STREAM
        (null)          DGRAM
        (null)          RAW
