[PATCH] tools: hv: hv_kvp_daemon: fix usage of realloc()

[Martin Kepplinger]

realloc() returns NULL in case it fails. Since we don't save the
pointer in question elsewhere, we leak memory by assigning NULL
to the original memory in the heap.

realloc() doesn't free memory in case of failure, so let's do
it manually.
