[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] block/pflash_cfi02: Fix memory leak and potential use-after-free

[Stephen Checkoway <stephen.checkoway@oberlin.edu>]

Don't dynamically allocate the pflash's timer. But do use timer_del in
an unrealize function to make sure that the timer can't fire after the
pflash_t has been freed.
