Commit v8.3.0-152-g49ef0f95c6 removed explicit VIR_FREE from qemuMigrationBegin, effectively reverting v1.2.14-57-g77ddd0bba2 The xml variable was used to hold the return value and thus had to be unset when an error happened after xml was already non-NULL. Such code may be quite confusing though and we usually avoid it by not storing anything to a return variable until everything succeeded.
