Based on comments from Xin, even after fixes for our recent syzbot
report of cookie memory leaks, its possible to get a resend of an INIT
chunk which would lead to us leaking cookie memory.

To ensure that we don't leak cookie memory, free any previously
allocated cookie first.

This marker can't be here, as it causes git to loose everything below.
thats intentional so that, when Dave commits it, the change notes arent carried
into the changelog (I.e. the change notes are useful for email review, but not
especially useful in the permanent commit history).
1) I like the changelog notes to be included

2) Your signoff etc. was in that area too so would have been lost as well
