The newly added call to qemuAuditNetDevice in qemuPhysIfaceConnect was
assuming that res_ifname (the name of the macvtap device) was always
valid, but this isn't the case. If openMacvtapTap fails, it always
returns NULL, which would result in a segv.

Since the audit log only needs a record of devices that are actually
sent to qemu, and a failure to open the macvtap device means that no
device will be sent to qemu, we can solve this problem by only doing
the audit if openMacvtapTap is successful (in which case res_ifname is
guaranteed valid).
