  In the Windows getopt_internal function the condition freeing
the memory allocated by _dupenv_s is correct only for the first
call to the function.

the next callers will try to free the buffer even though the _dupenv_s
call is skipped if the POSIXLY_CORRECT env isn't found (undefined behavior).

Fixed by releasing the buffer in the scope of the same if statement calling _dupenv_s

Hi Tal,

a few days back Khoa To and me privately discussed a patch that makes MinGW
and Clang bith use getopt.c from librte_eal (now only Clang does). That patch
includes adjustments that just remove _dupenv_s() along with the bug. Just
discovered you were not Cc'd, sorry. I put your name in Reported-by and
mentioned the bug in commit message: http://patchwork.dpdk.org/patch/78765/
