[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 02/11] memory: destroy phys_sections one by one

[Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>]

phys_sections_clear is invoked after the dispatch tree has been
destroyed.  This leaves a window where phys_sections_nb > 0 but the
subpages are not valid anymore, which is a recipe for use-after-free
bugs.

Move the destruction of subpages in phys_sections_clear.
