leaks in multiple calls for preallocating AIJ matrices

[Lisandro Dalcin]

Looking at the actual code, it seems there is not need to actually
reallocate space, the same space can be reutilized. Do you think I'm
missing something?

And please, tell me: should I fix this in release-2.3.3? I believe
this will not impact previous user code in any way.
