Your commit message is incomplete.  The resource leak is real, but it's
the less serious bug here.  The serious one is missing initialization of
err.

If using_spice, qemu_using_spice() returns true without touching err.
All fine.

Else, if err is null by chance, qemu_using_spice()'s error_set() creates
an error object and stores it in err.  We leak it.

If err is not null, error_set() fails its assertion.

Broken in commit b25d81b by yours truly.  Thanks for cleaning up my
mess!

Let's fix up the commit message:

    monitor: Fix missing err = NULL in client_migrate_info()

    When SPICE isn't used, we either fail an assertion in error_set(),
    or leak an error object.  Broken in commit b25d81b.

With such a fixup:
