hostip: Move allocation to clarify there is no memleak

By just glancing at the code, it looks like there is a memleak if the
call to Curl_inet_pton() fails. Looking closer, it is clear that the
call to Curl_inet_pton() can not fail, so the code will never leak
memory. However, we can make this obvious by moving the allocation
after the if-statement.
