This is not a memory leak because we pass the share memory pointer
to secure world and would get it from secure world before releasing it.

Eventually this pointer will be freed below with the call to tee_shm_free().
I assume than once the memory is freed it's not execused from being a leak
any longer. Is that correct?

Yes, it is the correct way to release memory through tee_shm_free, but if a memory leak is detected by the kernel before free memory, it is obviously a false alarm.
