[PATCH] nwfilter: Fix possible segfault on sometimes consumed variable

[John Ferlan <jferlan@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The virNWFilterIPAddrMapAddIPAddr code can consume the @addr parameter
on success when the @ifname is found in the ipAddressMap->hashTable
hash table in the call to virNWFilterVarValueAddValue; however, if
not found in the hash table, then @addr is formatted into a @val
which is stored in the table and on return the caller would be
expected to free @addr.

Thus, the caller has no way to determine on success whether @addr was
consumed, so in order to fix this create a @tmp variable which will
be stored/consumed when virNWFilterVarValueAddValue succeeds. That way
the caller can free @addr whether the function returns success or failure.
