This means nvme_mpath_init() may be called multiple times before nvme_mpath_uninit() (which is only called on nvme_free_ctrl()). When nvme_mpath_init() is called multiple times, it overwrites the ana_log_buf pointer with a new allocation, thus leaking the previous allocation. To fix this, free ana_log_buf before allocating a new one.
