Which in this specific case is a false positive since nmounts pretty much
protects us from that happening. Usually I'm not very keen on making changes to
silence false positives from analyzers like coverity, however, in this case we
can actually make things better I believe.

How about we revert the logic HERE (in the missing context) and instead do:

if (!mounts) {
    ret = 0;
    goto cleanup;
}

and then ^here replace this hunk with virStringListFreeCount which already
checks @src for NULL, so that should suffice from Clang's perspective, right?
