[OE-core] [V3][PATCH] inetutils: Fix the rcp couldn't copy subdirectory issue

Since snprintf doesn't support the same src and dst address, it will get
the wrong result.
In the sink second recursive call env, the argv and the namebuf will point
the same address, after free operation for namebuf.
Overall the last change for this is wrong, now we just move the memory free
to the end of the sink function, so that we can correct the value and fix
the memory leak issue.

+The namebuf will get the same allocation address as the one before
+free operation, at the same time because of the recursive call for
+sink function, the targ and namebuf point the same address, then it
+cause the namebuf will get the wrong value with the snprintf function.
+Since the snprintf function doesn't like the strcpy function which
+can overwrite the destination.
+eg:
+ char tmp[20] = "test";
+ snprintf(tmp,20,"%s%s",tmp,"yes");
+The result of tmp -> yes. It will cause the wrong value.
+
+The sink function flow is as follows:
+ >sink(int argc, char*argv[])
+ >{
+ > ...
+ > targ = *argv;
+ > static char *namebuf = NULL;
+ > free (namebuf);
+ > namebuf = malloc (need);
+ > snprintf (namebuf, cursize, "%s%s%s", targ, *targ ? "/" : "", cp);
+ > np = namebuf;
+ > vect[0] = np;
+ > sink (1, vect);
+ > ...
+ >}
+
+At the same time, we couldn't add the condition(need > corsize),
+the same snprintf issue still exists. for example:
+#ls rccopy/*/*
+rccopy/fold1/1  rccopy/fold2/2  rccopy/fold3/3
+
+Since the cursize static variable is still the old value after copying the
+rccopy/fold1/1, when it copys the directory rccopy/fold2 during recursive,
+the value of need < cursize, the namebuf still use the old vlaue without being
+allocated the new space, the incorrect namebuf value issue is still here.
+
+We move the memory free to the end of this fucntion.
