All the io_alloc() implementation unconditionally allocated
new memory, thus leaking memory if called more then once.
Fix io_alloc() implementations not to allocate new memory
if not needed.

This happens for example in link_msg_parser() which first
calls rtnl_link_set_type():

    #0  macvlan_alloc (link=0x609d50) at route/link/macvlan.c:56
    #1  0x00007ffff7b99a78 in rtnl_link_set_type (link=link@entry=0x609d50, type=type@entry=0x609a94 "macvlan") at route/link.c:2233
