[libvirt] [PATCH] util.c (two more): don't use a negative value as allocation size

[Jim Meyering <jim@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This change is nearly identical to one I made last week.
I inspected all remaining sysconf uses, and they seem to be ok.

Subject: [PATCH] util.c (two more): don't use a negative value as allocation size

* src/util/util.c (virGetUserID, virGetGroupID): In the unlikely event
that sysconf(_SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX) fails, don't use -1 as the size in
the subsequent allocation.
