Yeah, I've received the Coverity report as well. This is a regression introduced
in 2.9 by commit df58713396f8 ("hw/ppc/spapr: Check for valid page size when hot
plugging memory") actually.

The same commit also introduces a similar leak in
kvmppc_is_mem_backend_page_size_ok().

I'm about to send a series to fix both.

Cheers.
