Stack entries in QmpOutputVisitor are navigation links (weak references), except the bottom (ie. least recently added) entry, which owns the root QObject [1]. Make qmp_output_visitor_cleanup() drop the stack entries, then release the QObject tree by the root.
Attempting to serialize an invalid enum inside a dictionary is an example for triggering the double free.
