Subject: [PATCH] use libc-internal malloc for duplocale

newlocale and freelocale use __libc_malloc and __libc_free, but
duplocale uses malloc. This prevents invalid reads when locales created
by duplocale use a different malloc allocator than the internal one
(e.g. when using an LD_PRELOAD malloc tool such as valgrind).

This bug was introduced by commit
1e4204d522670a1d8b8ab85f1cfefa960547e8af.
