I free it in vfio_instance_finalize().
Vfio-pci's design is special, it didn't free all allocated resources in 
realize's error path,
They are freed in _finalize(). e.g., vdev->emulated_config_bits, vdev->rom, 
devices and group resources(vfio_detach_device).
I'm following the same way. I'm fine to free it as you suggested something like 
below:

I free it here.

Thanks
