socket: use inet_ntop() instead of inet_ntoa() in osmo_sock_local_ip()
The function inet_ntoa() stores its result in a static buffer and returns the pointer. When inet_ntoa() is called subsequently it overwrite the content of its static buffer with the new result. Since we osmo_sock_local_ip() is a library function we should use the more safe variant inet_ntop() in order to prevent unintentionally overwriting data that the caller might still need. Such an error would be hard to find. - Use the more safe inet_ntop() inestead of inet_ntoa() Change-Id: I9852b57736432032542bd96b6fdd4a2f08fc1f64
