This does fix the memory leak and makes the function behave like it's
documented in virDomainGetFSInfo and virDomainFSInfoFree:
http://libvirt.org/html/libvirt-libvirt-domain.html#virDomainGetFSInfo
http://libvirt.org/html/libvirt-libvirt-domain.html#virDomainFSInfoFree

But it changes the public API - if there are applications that already
work around this function by freeing the info, this change would
introduce a double free.

I would NACK this if the documentation for both APIs didn't say that's
how this function should behave.

I'd like to hear a second opinion.
I don't think this documentation make any confusable.
for using the function virDomainGetFSInfo(), user also need
to call virDomainFSInfoFree() on each array element, and call free() info.
example:

virDomainFSInfoPtr *info;

ndata = virDomainGetFSInfo(dom, &info, 0);

for (i = 0; i < ndata; i++)
        virDomainFSInfoFree(info[i]);
VIR_FREE(info);

Thanks,
Chen
