[PATCH] util: fix mount issue by moving NULL value to "none" in syscall.

[Julio Faracco <jcfaracco@xxxxxxxxx>]

After running libvirt daemon with valgrind tools, some errors are
appearing when you try to start a domain. One example:

==18012== Syscall param mount(type) points to unaddressable byte(s)
==18012==    at 0x6FEE3CA: mount (syscall-template.S:78)
==18012==    by 0x531344D: virFileMoveMount (virfile.c:3828)
==18012==    by 0x27FE7675: qemuDomainBuildNamespace (qemu_domain.c:11501)
==18012==    by 0x2800C44E: qemuProcessHook (qemu_process.c:2870)

==18012==    by 0x28074876: qemuDomainObjStart (qemu_driver.c:7314)
==18012==    by 0x280522EB: qemuDomainCreateWithFlags (qemu_driver.c:7367)
==18012==    by 0x55484BF: virDomainCreate (libvirt-domain.c:6531)
==18012==    by 0x12CDBD: remoteDispatchDomainCreate (remote_daemon_dispatch_stubs.h:4350)
==18012==    by 0x12CDBD: remoteDispatchDomainCreateHelper (remote_daemon_dispatch_stubs.h:4326)
==18012==  Address 0x0 is not stack'd, malloc'd or (recently) free'd

Some documentation recommends to use "none" when you don't have a
filesystem type to use. Specially, for bind and move actions.
