So, I gave it another round to test the remaining error thrown by
valgrind. Here is my finding:

One of the errors received while running valgrind is (not fixed by the
patch given before):

==3915== 9 bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 31 of 129
==3915==    at 0x4A0887C: malloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:270)

    ==3915==    by 0x41D14F: testQemuHotplug (qemuhotplugtest.c:247)
    ==3915==    by 0x41E421: virtTestRun (testutils.c:139)
    ==3915==    by 0x41C6E3: mymain (qemuhotplugtest.c:428)
    ==3915==    by 0x41EAB2: virtTestMain (testutils.c:600)
    ==3915==    by 0x341F421A04: (below main) (libc-start.c:225)

The corresponding fix is:

diff --git a/src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.c b/src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.c
index ec3b958..b7d5390 100644
--- a/src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.c
+++ b/src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.c
@@ -5384,7 +5384,7 @@ qemuMonitorJSONAttachCharDev(qemuMonitorPtr mon,
             goto cleanup;
         }

-        if (VIR_STRDUP(chr->data.file.path, path) < 0)
+        if (!chr->data.file.path && VIR_STRDUP(chr->data.file.path, path) < 0)
             goto cleanup;
     }


But I can't confirm whether the testcase is wrong in this case too.
