Also cc Michael and qemu-trivial@nongnu.org.
I understand the simple cleanup can cc qemu-trivial@nongnu.org. ;-)

This seems dangerous, now all users of uaccess_lock_user() must
use g_free(), in particular lock_user_string() which is used more
than a hundred of times:

$ git grep -w lock_user_string | wc -l
      116

Users of lock_user_string() and other lock_user() functions are
supposed to unlock via unlock_user(); if they directly call either
free() or g_free() they have a bug.

This is not true for many years now.

GLib is hardcoded to always use the system allocator, so g_malloc
can be freely mixed with free, and vica-verca.

Using 'g_free' is stylistically preferred, but not functionally
required.
