Fun, I'm trying to understand again how I caused the crash when these
were NULL. I think it was because in the virNetServerClientNew() call
they were non-NULL, but the virNetServerClientNewPostExecRestart()
I had passed NULL, or vica-verca.

Anyway since all production code callers pass non-NULL, I think these
should be marked NONNULL regardless of crash possibility....

...so I'll fix this test and remove the if (...) checks :-)

Daniel
