While running nwfilterxml2xmltest, it was found that valgrind pointed out the
following error...

==7466== 16 bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 26 of 90
==7466==    at 0x4A06B6F: calloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:593)

...21 times, which are related to 21 tests in nwfilterxml2xmltest.c which sent
EXPECT_WARN = false. There were two scenarios in virNWFilterDefParseXML(),
when the variable 'entry' was malloc'ed, but not freed.
