[libvirt] [PATCH] esx_vmx.c: don't dereference a NULL virtualDev

[Jim Meyering <jim@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The offending code starts here:

int
esxVMX_ParseSCSIController(virConnectPtr conn, virConfPtr conf, int controller,
                           int *present, char **virtualDev)
{
    char present_name[32];
    char virtualDev_name[32];

    if (virtualDev == NULL || *virtualDev != NULL) {
        ESX_ERROR(conn, VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR, "Invalid argument");
        goto failure;
    }

If the virtualDev parameter is NULL, then we'd issue the
diagnostic and take the "goto", and (below), dereference NULL.
