The @vendor variable inside virQEMUCapsCPUDefsToModels() is allocated, but never freed. But there is actually no need for it to be allocated, because it merely passes a retval of virCPUGetVendorForModel() (which returns a const string) to virDomainCapsCPUModelsAdd() (which ten accepts the argument as const string). Therefore, drop the g_strdup() call and fix the type of the variable.
