[libvirt] [PATCH 03/18] vshCommandParse: Don't leak @tkdata

When parsing cmd line which has "--" on it, this is leaked.
Problem is, parser->getNextArg() allocates new string and stores
it into tkdata. But as soon as "--" is detected 'continue' is
issued without any free of the allocated memory.

  ==5304== 3 bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 1 of 782
