talloc: ensure the sibling linked list remains valid during a free
This ensures that the sibling list of a pointer doesn't become invalid during a free operation. It is an alternative fix to the fix in 6f51a1f45bf4de062cce7a562477e8140630a53d, and avoids the problem of trying to calculate the parent pointer early This should fix the subtle spoolss talloc bug that Simo found Autobuild-User: Andrew Tridgell <tridge@samba.org> Autobuild-Date: Tue Aug 9 01:53:17 CEST 2011 on sn-devel-104
