check_http: Fix memory reallocation error in chunk decoding logic

This patch should fix an error with the way memory reallocation was
used, which resulted in "realloc(): invalid next size".
It is not completely clear to me as to what caused this problem, but
apparently one can not depend handing a pointer to "realloc(3)" and
expect that it still works afterwards, but one should/must use the one
returned by the function.

Also this patch replaces a variable which was used to remember the
position in the array by just computing that from the current values.
