i386: Fix arch_query_cpu_model_expansion() leak
Reported by Coverity: Error: RESOURCE_LEAK (CWE-772): [#def439] qemu-2.12.0/target/i386/cpu.c:3179: alloc_fn: Storage is returned from allocation function "qdict_new". qemu-2.12.0/qobject/qdict.c:34:5: alloc_fn: Storage is returned from allocation function "g_malloc0". qemu-2.12.0/qobject/qdict.c:34:5: var_assign: Assigning: "qdict" = "g_malloc0(4120UL)". qemu-2.12.0/qobject/qdict.c:37:5: return_alloc: Returning allocated memory "qdict". qemu-2.12.0/target/i386/cpu.c:3179: var_assign: Assigning: "props" = storage returned from "qdict_new()". qemu-2.12.0/target/i386/cpu.c:3217: leaked_storage: Variable "props" going out of scope leaks the storage it points to. This was introduced by commit b8097deb359b ("i386: Improve query-cpu-model-expansion full mode"). The leak is only theoretical: if ret->model->props is set to props, the qapi_free_CpuModelExpansionInfo() call will free props too in case of errors. The only way for this to not happen is if we enter the default branch of the switch statement, which would never happen because all CpuModelExpansionType values are being handled. It's still worth to change this to make the allocation logic easier to follow and make the Coverity error go away. To make everything simpler, initialize ret->model and ret->model->props earlier in the function. While at it, remove redundant check for !prop because prop is always initialized at the beginning of the function.
