[Spice-devel] [PATCH spice-server v2] red-worker: Fix leak processing update commands

[Frediano Ziglio]

Is possible to have a leak processing update commands if
the update command is synchronous and the rectangle list
is empty. Note that Qemu always pass an empty list.

If the list is empty display_channel_update fill the list.
This is used to send back the list in case of asynchronous
requests. But in handle_dev_update_async (the callback that
handle the asynchronous case) the list is correctly freed.

This was discovered by accident looking at the code.

Reproduced with a Windows recording file using GCC address
sanitizer and this patch to spice-server-replay:
