Commit c4f4e195 fixed a double free, but if the code returns before we realloc the list and virFirmwareFreeList was called with cfg->nfirmwares > 0 (e.g. during virQEMUDriverConfigDispose), then it would be rather disasterous. So let's reinitialze that too to indicate the list is empty. Coverity pointed out that using nvram[0] as a guard to reallocating the list could lead to a possible NULL deref. While nvram[0] may always be true in this case, if it wasn't then the subsequent for loop would fail. Just reallocate always regardless - even if nfirmwares == 0 as virFirmwareFreeList will free it for us anyway.
