[ovs-dev] [PATCH 01/41] ofproto: Fix memory leak and memory exhaustion bugs in group_mod.

In handle_group_mod() cases where adding a group failed, nothing freed the
list of buckets, causing a leak.  The same was true in every case of
modifying a group.  This commit fixes the problem by changing add_group()
to never steal or free the buckets (modify_group() already acted this way)
and then making handle_group_mod() always free the buckets when it's done.

This approach might at first raise objections, because it makes add_group()
copy the buckets instead of just take the existing ones.  But it actually
fixes a worse problem too: when OF1.4+ REQUESTFORWARD is enabled, the
group_mod is reused for the request forwarding.  Until now, for a group_mod
that adds a new group and that has some buckets, the previous stealing of
buckets in add_group() meant that the group_mod's buckets were no longer
valid; in practice, the list of buckets became linked in a way that
iteration never terminated, which caused memory to be exhausted while
composing the requestforward message.  By making add_group() no longer
modify the group_mod, we also fix this problem.

The requestforward test in the testsuite did not find the latter problem
because it only added a group without any buckets.  This commit also
updates the testsuite to include a bucket in its group_mod, which would
have found the problem.

Found by pain and suffering.
