  virtio-iommu: use-after-free fix

A potential Use-after-free was reported in virtio_iommu_handle_command
when using virtio-iommu:

> I find a potential Use-after-free in QEMU 6.2.0, which is in
> virtio_iommu_handle_command() (./hw/virtio/virtio-iommu.c).

> Specifically, in the loop body, the variable 'buf' allocated at line 639 can 
> be
> freed by g_free() at line 659. However, if the execution path enters the loop
> body again and the if branch takes true at line 616, the control will directly
> jump to 'out' at line 651. At this time, 'buf' is a freed pointer, which is 
> not
> assigned with an allocated memory but used at line 653. As a result, a UAF bug
