gstvalue: Avoid temporary allocation

The problem is that:
* g_value_init will end up allocating an internal list/array
* g_value_copy *clears* the existing value by calling the free func
  and then the copy function (creating it again)

To avoid that alloc/free/alloc cycle, directly call the appropriate
function
