Right, this is a potential leak, thanks for the report. The patch below
should fix it:

 kvm_set_irq_routing()

If ue->flags field is checked after the allocation of the
kvm_kernel_irq_routing_entry, it will be leaked if the check
succeeds. Do the check before the allocation instead to
avoid this leak.
