 Static analysis detected a memory leak in cardutil.cpp after allocating a
 new hdhomerun_device, and it was not freed before returning.

 This patch calls the hdhomerun_device_destroy function to free the
 storage.

 It is possible that Coverity will not recognize the
 hdhomerun_device_destroy will free the memory, in which case one will need
 to manually acknowledge the Coverity issue.  But the memory leak is real
 without the patch.
