clang static analysis reports this represenative problem

test-fsinfo.c:615:3: warning: Potential leak of memory pointed to by 'r'
                memset(r, 0xbd, buf_size);
                ^~~~~~

r dynamically allocated in a loop an increasing size.

        for (;;) {
                r = malloc(buf_size);
...
                buf_size = (ret + 4096 - 1) & ~(4096 - 1);
        }

The problem is that r is never freed at the bottom of the loop.
So free r.
