Cppcheck found memory that was being allocated but unused. Further
investigation leads me to believe that we're actually leaking memory in this
case - get_airpcap_if_from_name() doesn't do anything destructive with its
parameters, so there's no need to strdup them in the first place.

Also fix indentation.
