[libvirt] [PATCH v2] storage: Avoid memory leak on metadata fetching

Getting metadata on storage allocates a memory (path) which need to
be freed after use otherwise it gets leaked. This means after use of
virStorageFileGetMetadataFromFD or virStorageFileGetMetadata one
must call virStorageFileFreeMetadata to free it. This function frees
structure internals and structure itself.
