[libvirt] [PATCH] xm_internal.c: remove misleading dead code

[Jim Meyering <jim@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This code triggered a warning about possible NULL-dereference.
Actually it's more about being self-contradictory, since
the NULL-dereference is not possible.

Subject: [PATCH] xm_internal.c: remove misleading dead code

* src/xen/xm_internal.c (xenXMConfigGetULong): Remove useless and
misleading test (always false) for val->str == NULL before code that
always dereferences val->str.  "val" comes from virConfGetValue, and
at that point, val->str is guaranteed to be non-NULL.
(xenXMConfigGetBool): Likewise.
