#572: Memory leak in _insert when using rank 0 input

-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
 The function _insert has a memory leak, and this shows when using for
 example cdf functions of distributions classes in scipy.stats (see scipy
 #476).

 The fix is trivial: just call Py_DECREF on ainput in rank 0 case, as in
 general case (the attached patch avoids separate code path for memory
 cleaning instead).
