From: Alex Jia <ajia at redhat.com>

when everything is okay, 'rv' will be 0, however, 'cleanup' lable only free
allocated memory with 'rv < 0', so memory leak on successful path. The patch
uses new virTypedParameterArrayClear function to free memory instead.

* src/remote/remote_driver.c: fix memory leak on remoteDeserializeTypedParameters. 

* Detected by valgrind:
