Re: [PATCH 1/2] qemu_namespace: Don't leak memory in qemuDomainGetPreservedMounts()

The aim of qemuDomainGetPreservedMounts() is to get a list of filesystems mounted under /dev and optionally generate a path for each one where they are moved temporarily when building the namespace. And the function tries to be a bit clever about it. For instance, if /dev/shm mount point exists, there's no need to consider /dev/shm/a nor /dev/shm/b as preserving just 'top level' /dev/shm gives the same result. To achieve this, the function iterates over the list of filesystem as returned by virFileGetMountSubtree() and removes the nested ones. However, it does so in a bit clumsy way: plain VIR_DELETE_ELEMENT() is used without freeing the string itself. Therefore, if all three aforementioned example paths appeared on the list, /dev/shm/a and /dev/shm/b strings would be leaked. And when I think about it more, there's no real need to shrink the array down (realloc()). It's going to be free()-d when returning from the function. Switch to VIR_DELETE_ELEMENT_INPLACE() then.
