* prefix.c: (prefix_ipv4_new, prefix_ipv6_new): Call prefix_new
to allocate the memory to make sure that all struct prefix pointers
point to objects of the same length (avoids memory overruns
on struct prefix assignments).
(prefix_ipv4_free, prefix_ipv6_free): Simply call prefix_free.
It is interesting to note that these functions are never actually
called anywhere in the code. Instead prefix_free was already
being called directly, despite the previous MTYPE incompatibility.
[backport candidate]
