fix read past end of buffer in getaddrinfo backend
due to testing buf[i].family==AF_INET before checking i==cnt, it was possible to read past the end of the array, or past the valid part. in practice, without active bounds/indeterminate-value checking by the compiler, the worst that happened was failure to return early and optimize out the sorting that's unneeded for v4-only results. returning on i==cnt-1 rather than i==cnt would be an alternate fix, but the approach this patch takes is more idiomatic and less error-prone. patch by Timo Teräs.
