For locality, always allocate one leaf_info with the leaf.
This method uses pointer arithmetic to identify this specially allocated
leaf_info to avoid freeing it.

It is possible to construct pathalogical cases where this ends up
wasting a leaf_info, ie. construct a route with two prefixes then always
delete the first.
