[libvirt] review fallout: short memset

[Jim Meyering <jim@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

While reviewing unrelated changes, I spotted a short memset:

    char **names;
    ...
    memset(names, 0, maxnames);

That zeros out 1/4 or 1/8 of the memory than it should.
It should be doing this:

    memset(names, 0, maxnames * sizeof (*names));

I checked all memset uses and found a total of 6 uses like that.
This fixes them:

Subject: [PATCH] fix inadequate initialization in storage and test drivers

* src/storage_driver.c (storageListPools): Set all "names" entries to 0.
(storageListDefinedPools, storagePoolListVolumes): Likewise.
* src/test.c (testStoragePoolListVolumes): Likewise.
