assigning the new allocated *prtm to rtm

Bug File: sys/net/rtsock.c

In function update_rtm_from_rc, *prtm is assigned to rtm at line 946 and the *prtm is freed by callee update_rtm_from_info() via free(orig_rtm, M_TEMP).
And then *prim was assigned with a new allocated rtm in this callee. 

But now, the rtm in the caller still points to a freed memory object. The freed memory object is used later by rtm->rtm_flags, rtm->rtm_rmx and rtm->rtm_rmx.rmx_weight...

The root of this uaf bug is reassignment of *prim in callee does not change the value of outside rtm. My patch fixs this error by assigning the new allocated *prtm to rtm.

    Fix a use after free in update_rtm_from_rc().

    update_rtm_from_rc() calls update_rtm_from_info() internally.
    The latter one may update provided prtm pointer with a new rtm.
    Reassign rtm from prtm afeter calling update_rtm_from_info() to
     avoid touching the freed rtm.
