[c-nsp] Freeing up BGP memory?

[Michael Loftis]

It seemed to me that it holds onto the memory until at the very least that
peer is reset/clear-ed, and might until a clear ip bgp * is issued.  We
recently had a 6506 (same SUP IIRC) go OOM tailspin too.  The fault was
mine, insufficient monitoring.  Had to remove soft reconfig and move some
peers off of it.  (In my defense I wasn't the one who set any of this up so
I've been fixing what I can as I go)
