When start a guest with --pass-fd, if the argument of --pass-fd is invalid,
virsh will exit, but doesn't free the variable 'dom'.

The valgrind said:
...
==24569== 63 (56 direct, 7 indirect) bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 130 of 234
==24569==    at 0x4C2A1D4: calloc (in /usr/lib64/valgrind/vgpreload_memcheck-amd64-linux.so)
