priv does leak here.

priv is a local variable and it is allocated at this point, but not
assigned to driverState->privateData yet. So goto out will leak it,
because driverState->privateData is still NULL when calling
udevDeviceMonitorShutdown to cleanup.

priv does leak here too.

As I said before, moving the driverState->privateData = priv
assignment directly after the allocation and initialization or priv
will fix the leak, because then the call to udevDeviceMonitorShutdown
can free it as the local priv is assigned to driverState->privateData.
