    nis: Fix leak on realloc failure in nis_getnames [BZ #28150]
    
    If pos >= count but realloc fails, tmp will not have been placed in
    getnames[pos] yet, and so will not be freed in free_null.  Detected
    by Coverity.
    
    Also remove misleading comment from nis_getnames(), since it actually
    did properly release getnames when out of memory.
