[Xen-devel] [PATCH] xen: remove xenstore watches of backends when terminating qemu

[Juergen Gross <jgross@xxxxxxxx>]

Xenstore watches of the /local/domain/<dom>/backend/<type> directories
are never removed. This can lead to a memory leak in xenstored,
especially when xenstored is running in another domain (this will be
the case either for a system with xenstore-stubdom, or with driver
domains running qemu-based backends).

Avoid this problem by calling xs_unwatch() for these directories when
terminating qemu.
