[libvirt PATCH] nodedev: handle mdevs from multiple parents

[Jonathon Jongsma <jjongsma@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Due to a rather unfortunate misunderstanding, we were parsing the list
of defined devices from mdevctl incorrectly. Since my primary
development machine only has a single device capable of mdevs, I
apparently neglected to test multiple parent devices and made some
assumptions based on reading the mdevctl code. These assumptions turned
out to be incorrect, so the parsing failed when devices from more than
one parent device were returned.

The details: mdevctl returns an array of objects representing the
defined devices. But instead of an array of multiple objects (with each
object representing a parent device), the array always contains only a
single object. That object has a separate property for each parent
device.
