[Qemu-devel] Network isn't clean when qemu exits

[Amos Kong]

In vl.c:main(), tap device would be created when net_init_clients() is called.
"device" option is parsed after calling net_init_clients() by:
# "qemu_opts_foreach(qemu_find_opts("device"), device_init_func, NULL, 1)

Qemu will exit if fails to parse device parameters without calling 
net_cleanup().
I touch a problem, the tap device which is created by qemu-ifup script
could not be removed by qemu-ifdown script.

I did a quick fix, the tap device should be removed.

But there are many "exit(1)" after calling net_init_clients() in vl.c,
it's ugly to call net_cleanup() before each exit. Not sure if we have
other exit(1) in other sub-functions, which is also called after calling
net_init_clients().

Any comments?
