[Qemu-block] [PULL 7/8] block/qcow.c: Fix memory leak in qcow_create()

[Kevin Wolf]

From: Peter Maydell <address@hidden>

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.
