[OE-core] [PATCH v2] 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.
So the last change for this is wrong, now we just drop the free function
in the recursive loop to get the correct path of file and directory.
Even though there will be memory leak, the allocated static area memory
will be released after process exited.

+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);
+ > ...
