From: Marc-André Lureau <marcandre.lur...@redhat.com> Since f1060c55bf1377b4, the pointer is directly passed to qemu_ram_free(). However, on initialization failure, it may be called with a NULL pointer. Return immediately in this case.
This fixes a SEGV when memory initialization failed, for example permission denied on open backing store /dev/hugepages, with -object memory-backend-file,mem-path=/dev/hugepages.
