This leakage can be seen through test-io-channel-tls:

$ ../configure --target-list=aarch64-softmmu --enable-sanitizers
$ make ./tests/unit/test-io-channel-tls
$ ./tests/unit/test-io-channel-tls

Indirect leak of 104 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from:
    #0 0x7f81d1725808 in __interceptor_malloc ../../../../src/libsanitizer/asan/asan_malloc_linux.cc:144
    #1 0x7f81d135ae98 in g_malloc (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so.0+0x57e98)

SUMMARY: AddressSanitizer: 49143 byte(s) leaked in 184 allocation(s).

The docs for `g_source_add_child_source(source, child_source)` says
"source will hold a reference on child_source while child_source is
attached to it." Therefore, we should unreference the child source at
`qio_channel_tls_read_watch()` after attaching it to `source`. With this
change, ./tests/unit/test-io-channel-tls shows no leakages.
