OK. Seems more consistent with the rest of the code.

After code refactoring, the this function's argument @resctrl is passed in
from its caller, so the caller allocates object memory for @resctrl, and
it is better let caller to do the object release job when this function
returns an error.

@resctrl object is allocated and freed for error in function
virDomainCachetuneDefParse and virDomainMemorytuneDefParse.

I think this code will not make the memory leak.

If passing a pointer of @resctrl to virDomainResctrlAppend, it will work as
you said.
I don't think the current implementation of this refactoring will cause the
memory leak  as you pointed out in above lines, since you prefer the way by
passing in a &resctrl to virDomainResctrlAppend, I can change code accordingly.

The @resctrl structure, which is virDomainResctrlDefPtr type, will be extended
later in a new form of:

        struct _virDomainResctrlDef {
            char *id;
            virBitmapPtr vcpus;
            virResctrlAllocPtr alloc;

            virDomainResctrlMonDefPtr *monitors;
            size_t nmonitors;
        };

If without virDomainResctrlNew, the virDomainResctrlAppend function will have a
long argument list finally, like this:

        static int
        virDomainResctrlAppend(virDomainDefPtr def,
                               xmlNodePtr node,
                               virResctrlAllocPtr alloc,
                               virBitmapPtr vcpus,
                               virDomainResctrlMonDefPtr monitors,
                               size_t nmonitors,
                               unsigned int flags)

To make the function argument list be more concise, so we decide to
create the virDomainResctrlNew function and create the @resctrl out
of virDomainResctrlAppend in v1.

Thanks for review.
