Re: [libvirt] [PATCH] qemu: monitor: Fix a memory leak in qemuMonitorJSONAttachCharDevCommand

With the current logic, we only free @tlsalias as part of the error label and would have to free it explicitly earlier in the code. Convert the error label to cleanup, so that we have only one sink, where we handle all frees. In order to do that we need to clear some JSON obj pointers down the success road to avoid SIGSEGV, since JSON object append operation consumes pointers.
