[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] spapr: fix potential memory leak in spapr_core_plug()

[Greg Kurz]

Since commit 5c1da81215c7 ("spapr: Remove unnecessary differences between
hotplug and coldplug paths"), the CPU DT for the DRC is always allocated.
This causes a memory leak for pseries-2.6 and older machine types, that
don't support CPU hotplug and don't allocate DRCs for CPUs.
