Hmm, I documented that for qtest_qmp_cmd(), but you have a good
question.  I need to double-check that it is true for
qobject_from_jsonf("%p", obj), but my recollection is that yes, wrapping
one object inside the other means freeing the outer object also reclaims
the inner (that is, qobject_from_jsonf wasn't increasing refcount).  At
any rate, I'll probably have to submit a followup patch (either to fix
the leak if I'm wrong, or to improve the documentation about %p
reference management if I'm right).
