After you check, don't you think the memory leak would not occur in 
rte_dev_event_callback_register when free event_cb? And if you have find 
other same problem, suggest to fix it wholly by this good chance. Thanks.

int
rte_dev_event_callback_register(const char *device_name,
                 rte_dev_event_cb_fn cb_fn,
                 void *cb_arg)
{

error:
     free(event_cb);
     rte_spinlock_unlock(&dev_event_lock);
     return ret;

}
