When doing a full block pull job (base == NULL) and the config XML contains a compatible disk, the completer function would leave a dangling pointer in 'cfgdisk->src->backingStore' as cfgdisk->src would be set to the value of 'cfgbase' which was always set to 'cfgdisk->src->backingStore'. This is wrong though since for the live definition XML we set the respective counterpart to 'job->data.pull.base' which is NULL in the above scenario. This leads to a invalid pointer read when saving the config XML and may end up in a crash. Resolve it by setting 'cfgbase' only when 'job->data.pull.base' is non-NULL.
