cutils: fix memory leak in get_relocated_path()
get_relocated_path() allocates a GString object and returns the character data (C string) to the caller without freeing the memory allocated for that object as reported by valgrind: 24 bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 2,805 of 6,532 at 0x4839809: malloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:307) by 0x55AABB8: g_malloc (in /usr/lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0.6600.8) by 0x55C2481: g_slice_alloc (in /usr/lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0.6600.8) by 0x55C4827: g_string_sized_new (in /usr/lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0.6600.8) by 0x55C4CEA: g_string_new (in /usr/lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0.6600.8) by 0x906314: get_relocated_path (cutils.c:1036) by 0x6E1F77: qemu_read_default_config_file (vl.c:2122) by 0x6E1F77: qemu_init (vl.c:2687) by 0x3E3AF8: main (main.c:49) Let's use g_string_free(gstring, false) to free only the GString object and transfer the ownership of the character data to the caller.
