Quick Emulator(Qemu) built with the USB xHCI controller emulation support is
vulnerable to a memory leakage issue. It could occur while doing a USB device
unplug operation; Doing so repeatedly would result in leaking host memory,
affecting other services on the host.

A privileged user inside guest could use this flaw to cause a DoS on the host
and/or potentially crash the Qemu process instance on the host.

If the xhci uses msix, it doesn't free the corresponding
memory, thus leading a memory leak. This patch avoid this.

Use CVE-2016-7466.
