[sr-dev] [kamailio/kamailio] tm: prevent t_suspend memory leak (#2763)

Julien Chavanton notifications at github.com

When suspending while already in t_continue when processing a reply / suspending twice in a reply.

Thanks to @giavac  https://github.com/kamailio/kamailio/pull/2721 we can now suspend more then once in a reply route.

This is working well, however a memory leak was detected.

This modification is proposing a solution that will prevent calling `sip_msg_cloner` over an already twice over the same pointer, creating the memory leak.

- [x] Commit message has the format required by CONTRIBUTING guide
- [x] Commits are split per component (core, individual modules, libs, utils, ...)
- [x] Each component has a single commit (if not, squash them into one commit)
- [x] No commits to README files for modules (changes must be done to docbook files

#### Type Of Change
- [x] Small bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
- [ ] New feature (non-breaking change which adds new functionality)
- [ ] Breaking change (fix or feature that would change existing functionality)


I assume this is a non "breaking change" since it can only trigger in a very the specific case that was not supported anyway.
Conditions when this alternate behavior can trigger:
1- must be in t_suspend
2- must be in a reply `if (msg->first_line.type == SIP_REPLY) {`
3- must have an already cloned `if (t->uac[branch].reply) {`

An alternate solution would be to free everything in the cloned message and recreate it.
