In all uses of VIR_DIR_CLOSE() except one, the DIR* is never
referenced after closing all the way until it goes out of
scope. virCapabilitiesInitCaches(), however, reuses the same DIR* over
and over in a loop, but due to having many error conditions that
result in a goto out of the loop, it's not well suited to reducing the
scope of the variable until we introduce a g_autoptr cleanup function
for DIR*.
In preparation for doing just that, we need to get rid of the side
effect of VIR_DIR_CLOSE() setting the DIR* to NULL, so in this one
case, let's manually set the DIR* to NULL. Then in an upcoming patch
we can safely remove the side effect from VIR_DIR_CLOSE().
This extra/ugly bit of code is only temporary: once we introduce the
g_autoptr cleanup function for DIR*, we will remove this manual
close/clear completely anyway.
