Note: remote memory leak are a known bug:https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=690734,
       so this patch only fix network memory leak.

The following codes leads memory leak:
2448 static char *networkGetBridgeName(virNetworkPtr net) {
2449     struct network_driver *driver = net->conn->networkPrivateData;
2450     virNetworkObjPtr network;
2451*char *bridge = NULL;*
......
2470*bridge = strdup(network->def->bridge);*

Cleanup section hasn't released allocation free, and the programming will return a NULL if only and only
error condition happen, if everything is okay, 'bridge' will be returned, right?

Alex
