[PATCH 1/4] vshtabletest: Fix potential memleak

In testVshTableNew() we test whether vshTableNew(NULL) allocates
a table. This is expected to fail (and return NULL), because
passing nothing but NULL to vshTableNew() is viewed as error.
Nevertheless, if vshTableNew() did not fail and returned an
allocated table it would be leaked.
