getPhysfnDev allocates physfndev, but nothing freed it.
Pushing under the trivial rule.
Actually looks like physfndev is conditionally allocated in getPhysfnDev
Its better to modify getPhysfnDev to allocate physfndev every time.
Also a good catch - otherwise we might have a double free or otherwise
crash on freeing an invalid pointer.
I ACK this patch with the additional change below (looks ok ?)

I had already pushed mine. Yours is missing a virReportOOMError() on
allocation failure; but ACK with that improvement.
Meanwhile, we need to scrub this file - it uses a convention of 1 on
error, instead of the more typical -1 on error in the rest of the code
base; but I want this bug fix to be separate from that subsequent cleanup.
