[libvirt] [PATCH] x86Decode: avoid NULL-dereference upon questionable input

[Jim Meyering <jim@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Clang warned about the potential NULL-dereference
via the STREQ/strcmp below.  models[i] could be NULL.
Even "models" could be NULL, and the "allowed = ..." test
makes that appear to be deliberately allowed.

The change below is the least invasive and cleanest
I could come up with, assuming there is no need to diagnose
(e.g., by returning -1) the condition of a NULL models[i] pointer.

Subject: [PATCH] x86Decode: avoid NULL-dereference upon questionable input

* src/cpu/cpu_x86.c (x86Decode): Don't dereference NULL when passed
a NULL "models" pointer, or when passed a nonzero "nmodels" value
and a corresponding NULL models[i].
