Would it be possible to build a const char *fs_ctx->path once in the
PDU handler for each operation that takes a path instead of pushing so
many rpath() calls down into virtio-9p-local.c?  That way you don't
need to worry about constructing and freeing paths over and over.

I think it's time to kill errno once and for all in virtio-9p.  The
errno global variable usage is getting out of hand; pretty much every
patch is adding boilerplate code to juggle around errno and avoid
trampling it.  This new qemu_free() call means we need to juggle in
new places.

Please stop adding more errno juggling and just use -errno return
values.  That change needs to happen before this patch.

Please do this in a separate patch.

Leak.
