The function's only caller is main():

   int main(int argc, char **argv)
   {
       int ret = EXIT_SUCCESS;

       ...

       s = initialize_agent(config, socket_activation);
       if (!s) {
           g_critical("error initializing guest agent");
           goto end;
       }

       ...

   end:
       if (config->daemonize) {
           unlink(config->pid_filepath);
       }

       config_free(config);

       return ret;
   }

When initialize_agent() fails, the process terminates immediately.
There is no memory leak.

We might want to free in initialize_agent() anyway.  Up to the
maintainer.

Bug (not related to this patch): when initialize_agent() fails, we still
terminate successfully.  We should ret = EXIT_FAILURE before goto end,
like we do elsewhere in main().

I think we can just add g_autofree/g_autoptr for all pointers in GAState
and GLib will clean it automatically

Yes, I agree with this.
