Subject: [PATCH] block/qcow.c: Fix memory leak in qcow_create()
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Coverity points out that the code path in qcow_create() for
the magic "fat:" backing file name leaks the memory used to
store the filename (CID 1307771). Free the memory before
we overwrite the pointer.
