[ovs-dev] [PATCH v2 1/3] ovsdb-client: fix memory leak reported by valgrind

[William Tu]

Free memory allocated from table_add_column and table_add_row.
Test case: vsctl-bashcomp - basic verification/argument completion(7,8)
Call stack is below:
    xrealloc (util.c:123)
    table_add_column (table.c:146) or table_add_row (table.c:172)
    do_list_tables (ovsdb-client.c:449)
    main (ovsdb-client.c:151)
