The device tree blob returned by load_device_tree is malloced.
We should free it after cpu_physical_memory_write().Otherwise,
if we repeatedly call 'system_reset',it will repeatedly load fdt,
so there are many memleaks.

After searching the device code, I found three similar issues.
This series fixes the last three.

Hi all, after reviewing various patches from Pan Nengyuan fix ppc-e500
fdt memleaks, I search for related content and found Paolo Bonzini's
similarly patchs. (sorry, this description is missing here because of this patch format.)
