Fix stack overflow due to large AF_INET6 requests archlinux/2.18/master
Resolves #16072 (CVE-2013-4458).

This patch fixes another stack overflow in getaddrinfo when it is
called with AF_INET6.  The AF_UNSPEC case was fixed as CVE-2013-1914,
but the AF_INET6 case went undetected back then.

(cherry picked from commit 7cbcdb3699584db8913ca90f705d6337633ee10f)
