If vfio_realize fails after vfio_device_attach, it should call
vfio_device_detach during error recovery.  If it fails after
vfio_device_get_name, it should free vbasedev->name.  If it fails
after vfio_pci_config_setup, it should free vdev->msix.

To fix all, call vfio_pci_put_device().

Double free, vfio_pci_put_device() is also called in vfio_instance_finalize().

If vfio_realize fails with an error, vfio_instance_finalize is not called.
I tested that.

Have you tried with hot plugged device?

Not before, but I just tried it now, thanks for the suggestion.
Same result -- vfio_instance_finalize is not called.

Early free of vdev->vbasedev.name will also break something, e.g.,
trace_vfio_region_finalize(region->vbasedev->name, region->nr);

All unwinding and calling functions that might use the name is done in the
vfio_realize
failure path, and the very last operation is vfio_pci_put_device, and the last
operation
of that function is freeing the name string.
