XML schema validation for `virsh (hypervisor-)cpu-compare` has to be enabled explicitly by passing the `--validate` flag. Having invalid XML domain / cpu specification that appear to work can lead to hard to find problems down the line, when e.g. migration of VMs does not work as expected. This series fixes a bug in the validation code and logs the schema validation error to libvirtd's log file. User facing behaviour stays unchanged.
