[PATCH] tools: Fix realloc() use in fdarray__grow()

From: Jann Horn
Date: Sat Feb 29 2020 - 11:26:37 EST


If `entries != NULL`, then `fda->entries` has been freed, so whatever
happens afterwards, we must store `entries` in `fda->entries`.
If we bail out at the second realloc(), the new allocation will be bigger
than what fda->nr_alloc says, but that's fine.

Fixes: 2171a9256862 ("tools lib fd array: Allow associating an integer cookie with each entry")

To the maintainer:
I'm not sure about the etiquette for using CC stable in
patches for somewhat theoretical issues in userland tools;
feel free to tack a CC stable onto this if you think it
should go into stable.
