From: Christof Schmitt <christof.schmitt@xxxxxxxxxx> When allocating memory for GID_PN nameserver requests, the allocation function stores the pointer to the mempool, but then overwrites the pointer via memset. Later, the wrong function to free the memory will be called, since this is based on the stored pointer. Fix this by first initializing the struct and then storing the pointer.
