scpi_vxi: fix memory leak for SCPI response data in VXI support code
Routine scpi_vxi_read_data() invokes device_read_1(), which provides a static buffer where dynamically allocated memory for SCPI response data is kept. Release this memory after getting a copy of the response data, before the next device_read_1() call loses the reference. Valgrind stats without the fix: ==238825== LEAK SUMMARY: ==238825== definitely lost: 45,547,737 bytes in 18,331 blocks ==238825== indirectly lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks ==238825== possibly lost: 48,154 bytes in 14 blocks ==238825== still reachable: 42,859 bytes in 288 blocks ==238825== suppressed: 0 bytes in 0 blocks Valgrind stats with the fix: ==239413== LEAK SUMMARY: ==239413== definitely lost: 40 bytes in 2 blocks ==239413== indirectly lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks ==239413== possibly lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks ==239413== still reachable: 38,613 bytes in 287 blocks ==239413== suppressed: 0 bytes in 0 blocks Remaining leaks in scpi_vxi_open() are of lesser severity because they don't accumulate during execution.
