[ODE] memory leak from redundant allocation in dBodyCreate

dBodyCreate calls dBodySetAutoDisableDefaults on line 254, which in
turn calls dBodySetAutoDisableFlag on line 984, which then calls
dBodySetAutoDisableAverageSamplesCount on line 969 as long as
!do_auto_disable is true. This leads to line 909 and 910.
