ofp-util: Fix use-after-free in group append.

It is possible for ofpbuf_put() to realloc a newly allocated address,
casuing the previously referenced pointer, ogds, points to old/free'd
address. The issue is generated by forcing ofpbuf_put() to use newly
allocated buffer and valgrind reports invalid write. The similiar syndrome
is reported at: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/591330/
