Hello everybody!

Some methods of NetworkInterface class were reported to leak memory.
http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=JDK-8022584 (not yet available.)

Examples are isUp() and isLoopback().

Affected versions of jdk are 6, 7 and 8

Would you please review a simple fix that removes the unnecessary 
allocation?

Sincerely yours,
Ivan
