Summary: a patch for memory leak when container insert fail

Initial Comment:
When CONTAINER_INSERT fails in ipaddress_linux.c and systemstats_linux.c, there will be memory leak.  Under certain system configuration, this memory leak can cause system reset.  Here is a patch to prevent memory leak.  (The patch is for 5.4.2.1. I know the leak exists in latest 5.6.)

Thanks,
