[libvirt] [PATCH 1/2] util: ensure safe{read, write, zero} return is checked

[Eric Blake <eblake@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Based on a warning from coverity.  The safe* functions
guarantee complete transactions on success, but don't guarantee
freedom from failure.

* src/util/util.h (saferead, safewrite, safezero): Add
ATTRIBUTE_RETURN_CHECK.
* src/remote/remote_driver.c (remoteIO, remoteIOEventLoop): Ignore
some failures.
(remoteIOReadBuffer): Adjust error messages on read failure.
* daemon/event.c (virEventHandleWakeup): Ignore read failure.
---

This is the minimalistic approach for plugging the coverity
report.  It does nothing about the fact that ignoring
system errors might be a bad idea.
