ram_block_attributes_destroy() was called from reclaim_ramblock(), which runs as an RCU callback deferred by call_rcu(). However,when the RamDiscardManager is finalized, it will assert that its source_list is empty in the next commit. Since the RCU callback hasn't run yet, the source added by ram_block_attributes_create() is still attached. Move ram_block_attributes_destroy() into qemu_ram_free() so the source is removed synchronously. This is safe because qemu_ram_free() during shutdown runs after pause_all_vcpus(), so no vCPU thread can concurrently access the attributes via kvm_convert_memory().
