read_directory() keeps pointers to alloc'ed data in path ...:

 743 static int read_directory(BDRVVVFATState* s, int mapping_index)
 744 {
 ...
 792         buffer = g_malloc(length);
 ...
 828         /* create mapping for this file */
 829         if(!is_dot && !is_dotdot && (S_ISDIR(st.st_mode) || st.st_size)) {
 830             s->current_mapping = array_get_next(&(s->mapping));
 ...
 847             s->current_mapping->path=buffer;

... but these pointers are never free'd. Free them in vvfat_close(),
to fix (QEMU built with --enable-sanitizers):

“Never” is not quite right, they are freed in some places: Namely in 
remove_mapping(), and in handle_renames_and_mkdirs().

Speaking of the latter, which does some commit_t handling – should those 
paths also be freed?  (i.e. the ones in commit_t, in s->commits)

First:

Reviewed-by: Max Reitz <mreitz@redhat.com>

Second:

In commit_mappings(), there is this line:

next_mapping->path = mapping->path;

That looks strange.  Should that be a g_strdup(), or am I missing the 
place where only one of them can really exist?

But, well, all of the vvfat code is just strange to me.
