[7u-dev] Request for approval: 8022584 Memory leak in NetworkInterface methods

[Ivan Gerasimov]

May I have the approval to backport the fix from jkd8 to jdk7u?

The patch applies cleanly.
However I want to exclude the regtest from the change: First it turned 
out to be not very reliable, and second the fix itself is trivial. The 
test has also been removed from the jdk8 with the bugfix 8023390.

Thanks in advance,
