[ovs-dev] [PATCH] ovsdb-server: Fix schema leak while reading db.

parse_txn() function doesn't always take ownership of the 'schema'
passed.  So, if the schema of the clustered db has same version as the
one that already in use, parse_txn() will not use it, resulting with a
memory leak:

 7,827 (56 direct, 7,771 indirect) bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost
    at 0x483BB1A: calloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:762)
    by 0x44AD02: xcalloc (util.c:121)
    by 0x40E70E: ovsdb_schema_create (ovsdb.c:41)
    by 0x40EA6D: ovsdb_schema_from_json (ovsdb.c:217)
    by 0x415EDD: ovsdb_storage_read (storage.c:280)
    by 0x408968: read_db (ovsdb-server.c:607)
    by 0x40733D: main_loop (ovsdb-server.c:227)
    by 0x40733D: main (ovsdb-server.c:469)

While we could put ovsdb_schema_destroy() in a few places inside
'parse_txn()', from the users' point of view it seems better to have a
constant argument and just clone the 'schema' if needed.  The caller
will be responsible for destroying the 'schema' it owns.
